Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there is some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Step 4
Set aside about 3/4 cup of the mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
Step 5
In another bowl, toss the fresh blueberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the blueberries are evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
Step 7
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the blueberries, trying to cover most of the berries.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.
Step 9
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and slice into bars.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your nut-free blueberry oatmeal bars as a tasty snack or breakfast treat!
