Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there is some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Set aside about 3/4 cup of the mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In another bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the blueberries are evenly coated.
Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the blueberries, trying to cover most of the berries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and slice into bars.
Serve and enjoy your nut-free blueberry oatmeal bars as a tasty snack or breakfast treat!
