Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice)

1 cup frozen blueberries (if using fresh, slightly adjust cooking time)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the frozen blueberries with the lemon juice. If you prefer a sweeter filling, add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Gently toss the blueberries until they are evenly coated. Set this mixture aside to marinate while you work on the crumble base.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until everything is well combined and evenly distributed.

        Incorporate the Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or fork, stir the mixture until it resembles wet sand and is thoroughly combined.

          Assemble the Layers: Take about two-thirds of the oat mixture and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. This will create a solid base. Evenly spread the blueberry mixture over this pressed oat layer.

            Add the Crumble Topping: Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the blueberry layer, crumbling it as you go. Be sure to leave some areas of the blueberries visible to create a lovely crumbly texture.

              Bake the Crumble Slices: Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. You’ll know it's ready when the topping turns golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling around the edges.

                Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow the crumble to cool for around 15-20 minutes. For cleaner slices, consider refrigerating for about an hour before cutting. Slice into squares or rectangles as desired.

                  Store or Freeze: Enjoy your slices warm or at room temperature. For later enjoyment, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months for a future treat!

                    Indulge in these delightful Frozen Blueberry Oatmeal Crumble Slices as a sweet snack or a wholesome dessert throughout the week!
