Ingredients
Yield: 12 servings
- 1 pound (about 4 cups) fresh or frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup brown sugar, tightly-packed
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 ¼ cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter
Method
Warm oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8- or 9x9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper; keep nearby.
In a large saucepan, stir together the blueberries, brown sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch until combined. Warm over a medium burner until the blueberries reach a let it bubble gently, stirring occasionally. Then reduce heat to medium-low and let it bubble gently for 10 minutes, stirring and mashing a few of the blueberries occasionally, until the mixture is thickened. Lift from heat and keep nearby.
While that cooks as the berries are cooking, whisk together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt until combined. Spoon the melted butter evenly over the mixture, then stir until completely combined.
Move half of the filling to the prepared pan, and press it evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the bottom layer of the bars. Tip the blueberry mixture on top, and spread it around evenly. Then use your fingers to crumble and evenly sprinkle the remaining oatmeal mixture on top of the blueberry layer.
Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the blueberries are bubbling around the edges. Move to a cooling rack and cool until the bars reach room temperature. Then cover and refrigerate until completely chilled.
Slice and serve chilled. Or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
