Ingredients
For the crust
1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
2 cups (200g) rolled oats
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
1 teaspoon (4g) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (2g) salt
1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons (10g) vanilla extract
Blueberry filling
20 oz (600g) fresh blueberries
1/4 cup ¼ cup (50g) sugar
2 tablespoons (16g) cornstarch
juice from one lemon
Instructions
Prepare the crust.
Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch (23x33cm) pan and line with parchment paper, leaving some edges longer for easier lifting after setting.
In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and vanilla and stir until combined and crumbly.
Press ⅔ of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan.
Prepare the blueberry filling.
Place the blueberries in a bowl. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch and mix well. Scatter the blueberries over the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining ⅓ of the crumb mixture over the blueberries.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until lightly browned.
Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
