Blueberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars

Last year I made blueberry crumble bars that were a huge hit over the spring and summer months. They have a buttery shortbread base, a layer of fresh blueberries, and a crunchy crumble topping.

But I wanted to make a version with oatmeal crumble. Because I’m pretty sure that if there’s oatmeal – then it’s breakfast approved. And because adding oatmeal creates even more delicious crunchy crumble texture. And that’s always a good thing.

I’ve definitely had these for breakfast (they can’t be that much worse than sugary cereals), or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. And for whatever reason, I think they’re completely delicious cold and right from the fridge.
