Step 2: Divide the mixture adding about 2/3 of it to your prepared pan. Spread and gently press the mixture in an even layer all over the base of the pan. Reserve 1/3 of the mixture for the topping.
Step 3: In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients for the filling, stirring well to incorporate the cornstarch. Spread the blueberry mixture over the base in the pan.
Step 4: Sprinkle with the reserved oat mixture. Bake, in the middle rack of the oven, for 30-35 minutes.

Notes
- In place of coconut sugar, you can use 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup brown or coconut sugar. If using honey, add 1 cup of flour instead of 3/4 cup.
- You must allow it to cool completely before cutting and serving.
- Make sure you press down the base firmly and that it isn’t too thin. Otherwise, the bars will fall apart when you handle it.
- Instead of 1 cup of coconut sugar for the oat base, I recommend you use 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup of honey.
