Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add the vanilla extract to the butter and stir.
Pour the butter and vanilla mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until the dry mixture is well coated and crumbly.
Reserve about 1 cup of this oat mixture for the topping and press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even crust.
In a medium bowl, gently toss the fresh blueberries with lemon juice and cornstarch until coated.
Evenly spread the blueberry mixture over the crust in the baking pan.
Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of oat mixture over the top of the blueberries, pressing it down lightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into bars and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
