Delicious Blueberry Crumble Bars

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Blueberry Crumble Bars.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give a 9x13-inch baking dish a light greasing to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, 1 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and baking soda.

3. Step 3

   Next, take some cold, cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs—this is where the magic begins! Set aside about 2 cups of this crumbly goodness for the topping later.

4. Step 4

   Now, press the remaining oat mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish to create a sturdy crust that will hold all the deliciousness to come.

5. Step 5

   In a saucepan, mix together the blueberries, the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and a splash of lemon juice.

6. Step 6

   Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a gentle boil and thickens—this should take about 2 minutes.

7. Step 7

   The aroma of sweet blueberries will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist! Once thickened, spread this luscious blueberry mixture evenly over the crust in your baking dish.

8. Step 8

   Then, sprinkle the reserved oat mixture on top, creating a delightful crumbly layer that will bake to perfection.

9. Step 9

   Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes, or until the topping turns a lovely golden brown.

10. Step 10

    The anticipation will be worth it! Once baked, allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into 24 delightful squares.
