- To make the crust & crumble, to a large bowl add melted butter, white whole wheat flour, regular oats, honey, brown sugar, lemon zest and salt. Mix until just combined, mixture should be a little crumbly. Scoop out 1 cup of the mixture and set aside, that will be your crumble.
- Add the remaining mixture to the prepared pan. Spread the mixture out and using your fingers press into the bottom of the pan so the crust is in an even layer.
- To make the Blueberry Filling: to a small bowl add blueberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, and white whole wheat flour. Toss to combine.

- Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top of the bars.
