I was a little worried at first when I made these bars that they would fall apart since the crust doesn't seem like it will hold together before you bake it. I was pleasantly suprised! These bars were yummy. The blueberry filling was tart (which I liked) and the crust and topping were perfect. I thought the recipe called for the perfect amount of sugar. Sweet enough, but not too sweet. I used regular oats (since I did not have any quick oats) and I used a 8x8 pan istead since this would have been really hard to spread across a 13x9 (especially the blueberry filling). I would suggest used more blueberries if you want to bake this in a 13x9 inch pan. The only downfall of using the smaller pan was that it took almost twice as long to bake (but I was also baking it in stoneware so that may have had something to do with it.) I would definately make these again. I took it to a fourth of july picnic and everyone seemed to like them!

I made this recipe yesterday exactly as stated with the exception of adding 1 tsp. of Cinnamon to the oat/flour mixture. There was just enough blueberries filling to spread a thin layer across the crust afterall, this is not a blueberry pie, so the amount was perfect and it had a great crunch the way bars should be. Excellent - My Family Loved Them!!! :-)

Two ratings from our house: hubs LOVED 'em and even had a rare second helping of dessert after dinner! When I asked him why he thought they were so good he said he didn't know how to articulate it, he just knows what he likes, and he gives these five stars. I, on the other hand, rate them three stars - I thought they were okay, but not outstanding. I made half again as much filling, and am glad I did. I can't imagine these would be blueberry-y enough with a mere two cups for a 9x13 pan with all that crumb mixture! I loved the filling, and it was perfectly sweet and hinted with lemon, but the crumb mixture fell short in my view. Too oaty tasting, with little flavor - kind of flat. I think it definitely needed some vanilla and salt to enhance the flavor, if not a little cinnamon as well. It certainly is easy to put together, and I love the fact that it uses "real" blueberries rather than jam or pie filling. But I think the recipe needs to be tinkered with.

Absolutely delicious. I only had frozen blueberries that had been sitting in the freezer a while, but they still turned out great! Like others, I added a little cinnamon to the blueberry mixture, which really pumped up the flavor. The only problem is that hubby and I didn't eat them quickly enough, and after a couple days, the crust started getting soggy. Guess I'll have an excuse to scarf them down next time. :)

These were a huge hit! I made them a few times and found that they came out best using frozen blueberries, about 2 extra tablespoons of butter, a smaller pan (8x8), and cooking them for an extra 10 minutes or so. All the ways I made them came out great, the above is just a preference! These are good fresh out of the oven with vanilla ice cream, room temperature, or refrigerated!

I made it with frozen raspberries instead then sprinkled some fresh ones on the top. It was incredible!! I didn't use all the remaining crumb mixture for the topping as I thought it was already a majority of the recipe. Serve on a plate with a dollop of whipped cream.

I followed the advice to bake these in an 8 by 8 pan, and I added about half a teaspoon of cinnamon to the oat mixture. They turned out amazingly! Thicker than most bars of course, but delicious. I made them to serve to company and they were eaten up. I'd like to try this with raspberries too. Thanks for the great recipe.

Very good! I would make these again....they were only a tad bit crumbly....but not so much as I wouldn't make them again.

A few adjustsments will have to be made on this one. First l would lessen the sugar to 1c. Second l definitely would up the blueberry content to 4c. (actually l used both blueberries and blackberries. Then up the lemon juice and corn starch. Otherwise these bars are pretty good.

I used 3 cups blueberries and used 50/50 flour. It was a big hit with my husband. He wants me to freeze enough blueberries so that he can have this 1x each month.
