Instructions

Preheat the 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, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Adding melted butter and vanilla, stir until well mixed.
Press ⅔ of the crust mixture into the base of the prepared baking pan and set aside.
In another bowl, mix blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla, then pour over the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining ⅓ crust mixture over the blueberries.
Bake for 55 minutes or until blueberries are bubbling and crust is golden. Cool completely before lifting out and slicing into 9 bars.

Notes

Ensure the blueberries are fresh for the best flavor.
For added texture, consider using a mix of frozen and fresh blueberries.
These bars slice better after they are cooled completely.
