List of Ingredients
- Base And Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries, rinsed and drained
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 inch square baking pan with foil, letting ends extend above pan on 2 sides.
- In a large bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add melted butter and stir with a fork until evenly moistened (mixture will be crumbly). Reserve 1/2 cup crumb mixture for topping. Press remaining mixture evenly and firmly over bottom of ungreased, foil lined pan. Bake 12 minutes to set crust.
- Filling: In a small saucepan, stir berries, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice over medium heat until simmering. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until juices are no longer cloudy, about 2 minutes. Spoon over crust.
- Crumble reserved crumb mixture over top. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan. Lift foil by ends onto cutting board. Peel off foil; cut into 2 inch squares.
- Yield: 16 servings
