Preparation

1.

Preheat oven to 350°.

2.

Combine the flours, oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the yogurt, then mix in the butter with clean hands. The mixture will be thick.

3.

Set aside 3/4 cup of the oat mixture. Place the remaining mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan and spread it evenly to the edges with a spatula.

4.

Combine the berries with the sugar, lemon juice and zest, and cornstarch in a bowl. Pour the blueberry mixture into the baking dish and distribute the reserved topping evenly on top.
