Blueberry Crumble Bars

These bars are always a big hit and are a great way to use those fresh summer berries--though frozen blueberries work just as well. They're especially great with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups quick cooking oats
• 1 ½ cups white sugar, divided
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ cup cold butter
• 2 cups blueberries

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1: Preheat Pizzello oven to 375℉ (190℃). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Combine flour, oats, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve about 2 cups flour-butter mixture. Press remaining mixture into the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
