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!
