Serves: 8 to 10 squares
Ingredients
  • Crust and Topping:
  • 1½ c. all-purpose flour
  • 1½ c. rolled oats
  • 1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ⅛ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 c. unsalted butter, cut into chunks
  • Filling:
  • 3 c. blueberries
  • ¾ c. granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Generously spray an 11 x 7-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and place the pan on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  2. For Curst and Topping: In a food processor, put flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and pulse to blend, about 20 seconds. Add butter and pulse to cut butter into dry ingredients until you have a crumbly mass, not dry but not sticking together.
  3. For Filling: Toss berries in a bowl with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
  4. Spread or pat half of oatmeal mixture firmly into pan. Spread on blueberry mixture. Top as evenly as you can with remaining oatmeal mixture and press slightly. Chill 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350℉.
  6. Bake 40 t0 45 minutes until fruit starts to bubble; then reduce oven temperature to 325℉ and bake until done, another 15 to 20 minutes or until fruit that bubbles is deeper in color and edges of squares are browned. Cool completely in pan before cutting or refrigerate 2 to 3 hours before cutting.
