Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Step 3
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until crumbly and well combined.
Step 4
Press two-thirds of the oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, forming a firm base.
Step 5
In another bowl, toss the blueberries with lemon juice and cornstarch until the blueberries are well coated.
Step 6
Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the oat base in the pan.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the blueberries, patting it gently to form an even topping.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the blueberries are bubbling.
Step 9
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Step 10
Cut the cooled blueberry oat bars into squares or rectangles and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
