Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 1” overhang for easy removal; set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and vanilla, and stir to combine.
Press ⅔ of the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Pour this mixture over the crust, then sprinkle the remaining ⅓ crust mixture on top of the blueberries.
Bake for about 55 minutes, or until the blueberries are bubbling and the crust is golden. Let the bars cool completely before removing from the pan and slicing into 9 bars.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh blueberries when in season.
Feel free to add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the crust mixture for an extra flavor boost.
Serve warm or chilled, these bars are delicious either way.
