How to Make Oatmeal Blueberry Breakfast Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose whole wheat flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse 1-2 times to combine.
  3. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and pulse 5-6 times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add 1 cup rolled oats and pulse 3-4 more times.
  5. Add 1 large egg, lightly beaten, and pulse until just combined.
  6. Remove 1 ½ cups of the crumb mixture and set aside.
  7. Add ¼ cup apple juice to the remaining crumb mixture in the food processor and pulse 3-4 times until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  8. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup all-purpose whole wheat flour.
  10. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until the fruit is evenly coated.
  11. Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the crust.
  12. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the filling.
  13. Press the topping firmly into the filling using a spatula.
  14. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
  15. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before cutting.
  16. Cut into 16 bars and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
