Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold cubed butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Gently toss until the blueberries are coated.
- Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining oatmeal mixture over the blueberry layer as the crumble topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Service Suggestion
- Drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze for added sweetness.
- Enjoy with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a delightful dessert experience.
Notes
