- Cook Time: 45
- Total Time: 55 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- Crust & Topping
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- dash of salt
- 1 cup butter, cold & cut into small cubes
- Blueberry Layer
- 3 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup jelly (I used plum)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients for the crust in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender, two forks, or your hands until the crust forms small peas and holds together. Press 1/2 – 2/3 of the mixture into a jelly roll pan. Save 1/2 – 1/3 of the crust mixture for a crumble topping.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the blueberries, jelly, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir to combine. Pour blueberry mixture over the top of the crust and smooth out with a spatula.
- Crumble the remaining crust topping over the top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and filling is bubbling. Cool completely before cutting. Cut into bars & enjoy!
