These blueberry crumble bars are a fantastic treat for March, bridging the gap between winter and spring. They feature a buttery, slightly crumbly base made with oats, topped with a sweet and tangy blueberry filling that bursts with flavor. Another layer of the oat crumble creates a wonderfully textured topping, making these bars a satisfying and easy-to-eat dessert or snack.

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2
Make the crumble: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the very cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry blender, your fingertips, or a food processor, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
3
Press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden.
4
Prepare the blueberry filling: While the crust bakes, in a medium bowl, gently toss fresh blueberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest until the blueberries are evenly coated.
5
Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven. Evenly spread the blueberry filling over the warm crust. Crumble the remaining one-third of the oat mixture over the blueberry filling.
6
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out by the parchment paper and cutting into squares. Cooling is essential for the bars to set properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, you can! Do not thaw them before adding to the filling. You might need to bake the bars an extra 5-10 minutes if using frozen blueberries, as they release more liquid.

How do I store these bars?

Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Can I use a different fruit?

Absolutely! Raspberries, blackberries, or even a mix of berries would be delicious in these bars. Adjust sugar slightly if using tarter fruits.
