Crumble
Blueberry Filling
For the Crust: Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Add all the crumble ingredients to a food processor and process to thoroughly combine into a crumble-like mixture. Press 2/3 of the crumble tightly into the bottom of the pan. Bake uncovered in oven for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
For the Blueberry Filling: Add blueberries to a small pot over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 5 minutes until soft. Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds, maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Assemble: Pour the blueberry filling over the baked crumble and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture as crumble on top and bake in oven for about 20 minutes, until edges of the crust are golden brown. Let the bars cool for 10 minutes before cutting. Store in an airtight container in fridge for about a week or freeze.
