Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in the oats and baking powder. Reserve one cup of this mixture for topping, and press the remaining crumbs into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the blueberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, egg, and brown sugar until well combined. Pour this lemon mixture over the crust in the pan.
5. Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture evenly over the top of the blueberries.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into bars. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These bars also freeze well for up to 2 months.

For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries when they are in season, but frozen blueberries also work well. Just be sure to rinse and pat them dry before adding them to the filling.

If you prefer a sweeter treat, you can increase the sugar in the lemon filling. Additionally, chilling the bars for a couple of hours before cutting will help them hold their shape better.
