Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture and mix until it becomes crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for the topping.
Press the remaining mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the berries start to release their juices (about 5-7 minutes).
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the blueberries and cook until the filling thickens (about 2-3 more minutes). Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top of the blueberry filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly at the edges.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the dish. For cleaner slices, you can refrigerate them for 1-2 hours before cutting.
Cut into squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
