The oat mixture makes a delicious crust for the bottom—and a tasty crumble on top. Lemon perks up the blueberry filling.

Test-Kitchen tip:

These bars are best enjoyed on the day theyre baked. If you'd like to get a head start on the recipe, the crust and crumb topping can be made two days ahead. Cover separately and chill.
