Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time40 minutes
Total Time1 hour
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: blueberries
Servings: 8 squares

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper so there’s an overhang over the sides.
  • In a bowl, toss the blueberries with lime juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Brown the butter in a saucepan, swirling, until butter foams and starts to turn brown and smells nutty. Don’t let it get too brown, just golden with some brown flecks. Remove from the pan and let cool.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, sugar, and salt. Pour in the browned butter and stir until clumps form. Use your hands to press together and make sure everything is slightly moist. The dough will be crumbly.

  • Take half of the crumble mixture and press evenly into the base of your pan. Spoon the berries evenly over the crust, leaving any juices behind and crumble the remaining dough on top.
