Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup walnuts
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
6 tbsp salted butter
2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
2 tbsp coconut sugar
zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with enough butter to coat it.
Pulse the oats, three-fourths cup whole wheat flour, walnuts, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt until crumbly.
Cut in the butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs, then press two-thirds into the pan.
Mix the blueberries, remaining flour, coconut sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla in a bowl.
Spread the blueberry mixture over the crust and crumble the remaining oat mixture on top.
Bake for 35 minutes, then cool the bars in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing.
