Blueberries are one of our favorite berries. They are high in antioxidants, low in calories, high in fiber, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K. Some studies show they help to lower blood pressure and help prevent heart disease. And the best part? They are delicious! The health benefits are an added bonus.

This is such a simple recipe to make. Even the kids will enjoy helping you.

Line an 8×8 baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray lightly with non-stick spray. You could also use parchment paper if you prefer.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Combine thoroughly until the mixture is lumpy. Remove 3/4 cup of the mixture and set aside. Add the remaining flour mixture to your prepared pan and press to form a crust.

Pour the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust.
