List of Ingredients
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 375 mL
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant) 375 mL
1/2 cup brown sugar 125 mL

1 tbsp cornstarch 15 mL

Recipe
Procedure
Preheat the oven to 350o F (180o C). Lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch (23 or 33 cm) square baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Using a pastry blender or two knives cut the margarine into the flour mixture, until it forms a crumbly mixture. Transfer about two thirds of the crumble mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down to form an even layer. (Reserve remaining crumble mixture.) Place pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, toss together the blueberries, the granulated sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Sprinkle evenly over the partially baked crumble mixture in the pan. Cover with the remaining crumble mixture, pressing it firmly over the berries.
Place pan back in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until it is lightly browned, and the blueberries are bubbly around the edges. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares. May be served warm or at room temperature.
Delicious as a dessert when served warm with ice cream; just as good served as a snack at room temperature.
Blueberry Facts:
Canada is the world's largest producer of wild blueberries.
Blueberries are low in sodium and high in dietary fibre and potassium. All this for only 40 calories per half-cup serving.
