Grease your foil with butter.
Using a stand mixer, beat the butter until smooth.
Add the brown sugar and baking powder and continue to beat until combined.
Then add vanilla and egg to mixture, continue to combine.
Add flour to mixture slowly and continue beating until well mixed.
Remove bowl from stand mixer, fold in oats, and mix in by spoon.
Press most of the dough into the bottom of your baking dish, reserving about a half of a cup.
Spread the lemon zest, almonds and blueberries across the top of the dough.
Crumble pieces of the reserved dough across the entire top.
Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick cleanly.
Remove from oven, allow to cool.
Once cool, remove from pan, and cut into bars or squares.
