Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, toss 2 cups fresh blueberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour until evenly coated; transfer to a 9-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 4 tbsp unsalted butter (cold and cubed); use a fork to cut butter into oats until mixture resembles coarse sand.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the blueberry layer, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven, let cool for 15 minutes before serving to allow filling to set. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp vanilla extract before serving if desired.
