Ingredients:
6 tbsp butter1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
1.50 cups multi-grain oatmeal
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar

Lemon blueberry oatmeal bars are a delightful treat that combine the tanginess of lemon, the sweetness of blueberries, and the wholesome goodness of oatmeal. These bars are perfect for a quick snack, breakfast on-the-go, or a delightful dessert. By using honey and brown sugar, we add a natural sweetness that enhances the flavor without being overly sugary.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/2 cup honey (170g) and 1/4 cup brown sugar (54g) until fully combined.
- Add 1.5 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour (190g), 1.5 cups multi-grain oatmeal (120g), 1 tsp lemon zest (2g), and a dash of salt (0.40g) to the butter mixture. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed and crumbly.
- Press about two-thirds of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even layer. Set aside the remaining mixture for the topping.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of blueberries (300g), 1/4 cup brown sugar (54g), 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (30g), and 1 tsp all-purpose white wheat flour (2.60g). Toss until the blueberries are evenly coated.
- Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the crust in the baking pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining oatmeal mixture evenly over the blueberry filling, pressing down gently.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will help them set and be easier to cut.
- Serve the lemon blueberry oatmeal bars as a delicious snack or dessert. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you begin; this will make it easier to mix with the flour and oatmeal mixture.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture, but if you only have frozen blueberries, be sure to thaw and drain them well before using.
- Zest the lemon before juicing it to get the best results and to avoid any waste.
- Press the oatmeal mixture firmly in the baking dish to create a solid base and topping that holds together well.
