Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 3
Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
Step 5
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, then remove from heat.
Step 6
Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the oat crust in the baking dish.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top of the blueberries.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly.
Step 9
Allow the oatmeal bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your homemade blueberry oatmeal bars!
