Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 cup frozen blueberries (for fresh blueberries, increase baking time slightly)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the frozen blueberries with the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar (adjust according to your sweetness preference). Gently toss the blueberries with the mixture until they are well-coated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld 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 evenly mixed.

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

          Assemble the Layers: Take about two-thirds of the oat mixture and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring it's an even layer that is firm and compact. Next, spread the blueberry filling evenly over this pressed oat layer.

            Add the Crumble Topping: Take the remaining oat mixture and crumble it over the blueberry layer. Ensure some areas remain exposed for an appealing texture and visual contrast.

              Bake the Crumble Slices: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping becomes golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling slightly.

                Cool and Slice: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let the crumble cool for about 15-20 minutes. For cleaner slices, consider refrigerating it for an additional hour. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles as desired.

                  Store or Freeze: These crumble slices can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for up to 3 months for future enjoyment.

                    Enjoy your tasty and wholesome Frozen Blueberry Oatmeal Crumble Slices as a delightful dessert or a nourishing snack throughout the week!
