Step by Step Method
Step 1
Grease a 7 x 11-inch baking pan, then line bottom with a sheet of parchment paper; set aside.
Step 2
In a food processor, put the flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; pulse to blend for 20 seconds.
Step 3
Add in the cold butter chunks, and pulse to cut in the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a crumbly mass (not dry, but not sticking together).
Step 4
In a bowl toss the blueberries with lemon juice, then mix in the sugar and cornstarch.
Step 5
Spread half of the oatmeal mixture on the bottom of the pan then pat down gently using your hands
Step 6
Top with the blueberry mixture as evenly as you can, then top with the remaining oatmeal mixture, and press down slightly.
Step 7
Chill the pan for about 45 minutes.
Step 8
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the fruit starts to bubble.
Step 9
Cool pan very well before cutting, or refrigerate for 2-3 hours before cutting into squares (once sliced it will appear watery but will thicken upon standing and/or chilling)
