Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Salt-free baking powder
• 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt-free baking powder. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3

Add the melted unsalted butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well incorporated and the mixture becomes crumbly.

Step 4

Set aside half a cup of the oat mixture for topping.

Step 5

Press the remaining oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.

Step 6

Spread the blueberries evenly over the crust. If using frozen blueberries, there is no need to thaw them beforehand.

Step 7

Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the blueberries, gently pressing the crumbs into the berries.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, and cut into 12 even pieces.

Step 11

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
