For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the oat mixture. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before cutting it into the dry ingredients. If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can use all all-purpose flour. The whole wheat flour adds a slightly nutty flavor and a bit more fiber. Feel free to substitute other berries for the blueberries, such as raspberries, blackberries, or a mix of your favorites. For easier cutting, line the baking dish with parchment paper before pressing in the crust. Once the bars are chilled, you can lift them out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper.

Feb 23, 2025I tried these with frozen blueberries, and they were still delicious, but I recommend using fresh if you can. The fresh blueberries have a much better texture.
