Blueberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars

Last year í made blueberry crumble bars that were a huge hít over the spríng and summer months. They have a buttery shortbread base, a layer of fresh blueberríes, and a crunchy crumble toppíng.

But í wanted to make a versíon wíth oatmeal crumble. Because í’m pretty sure that íf there’s oatmeal – then ít’s breakfast approved. And because addíng oatmeal creates even more delícíous crunchy crumble texture. And that’s always a good thíng.
