ingredients
Crust and Topping
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
ingredients
Blueberry Filling
- 1 pound blueberries, fresh or frozen and thawed
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Method
Crust and Topping
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350, and grease a 9-inch square baking dish with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine two cups flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Drizzle with the melted butter and stir until combined into a soft dough. Press half the mixture firmly against the bottom of the baking dish, and bake the crust for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour to the reserved dough, and toss with a spoon until moistened and crumbly - this will be the crumb topping. Set aside.
Filling
Step 1
Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss the blueberries with the flour, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla.
Step 2
Remove the pan from the oven. Spread the blueberries over the hot crust, and sprinkle with the topping.
Step 3
Bake for 30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
