Crumble Topping & Crust
Melt coconut oil or butter in microwave in large bowl.
Remove bowl from microwave and add the flour, oats, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine until mixture is crumbly.
Reserve 1 cup of mixture for crumble topping.
Place remainder of mixture in pan and press into pan to create a flat packed crust. You can use your hands or a spatula.
Blueberry Filling
Using mixing bowl from topping, add all ingredients and stir to combine.
Spread mixture over the crust.
Sprinkle reserved crumble topping mixture on top of filling.
Bake for 55 minutes, or until edges are a slight golden brown and filling is set.
If you decide to use fresh blueberries the bake time will be less by about 10-15 minutes. Let your nose be your guide.
Remove pan from oven when done and cool on a wire rack.
Let bars cool for about half an hour before cutting or else they'll fall apart.
