Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon culinary lavender, finely chopped
• 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, almond flour, melted butter, salt, and lavender. Mix until crumbly.
3. Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
4. In another bowl, combine blueberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, and granulated sugar. Stir gently to coat the blueberries.
5. Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
6. Top with the remaining crumble mixture, spreading it evenly over the blueberries.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.
8. Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into bars.

Notes

For an extra touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the bars before serving.

To ensure your crumble bars hold together, allow them to cool completely before slicing. If you can’t find culinary lavender, you can substitute it with a small amount of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.

These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well, so feel free to make a double batch for later enjoyment!
