Blueberry Bars | A Simple Recipe

Blueberries in the summertime are my favorite. There is nothing like picking fresh blueberries. It’s one of my family’s favorite past times in July when they are plump and sweet.

My daughter and I tweaked a delicious recipe to give this blueberry crumb bar recipe a little more flavor and I LOVE how it turned out.

Our small group was my guinea pig test group for this recipe and it received 5 stars. So I hope that you enjoy it as well!

Let’s just say I may need to start exercising more…

And in the fall, our pear trees produce an abundance of yummy pears. My favorite pear pie recipe is a winner every time!

I certainly love desserts and this blueberry bar recipe is definitely top of the list. Let’s get to it!

Blueberry Crumb Bar Recipe

First step, gather your ingredients and pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. This recipe calls for minimal ingredients that pack a punch!

Prepare the Crumb Crust & Topping

Next, prepare the crumb mixture. This will be both your crust and your topping.

Mix your dry ingredients together first. My secret ingredient I add to the dry ingredients is cinnamon. It adds a hint of flavor that brings out the flavor of the blueberries even more.

Once you’ve mixed the dry ingredients, blend in the cold butter chunks. You can use a pastry blender or fork, but honestly I always find it easiest to dive right in with clean hands! The dough will be crumbly.

Next, add the egg and mix it in.

My daughter had an especially fun time with this step. Precious memories!

Once the crumb mixture is thoroughly mixed, press 3/4 of the mixture into a 9×13 greased pan. Leave the other 1/4 of the mixture for the crumb topping.

Prepare Blueberry Mixture

In a large bowl, mix together the ingredients to create a glaze. I’ve added Almond Extract to this recipe and it makes it smell so amazing as it bakes. Plus, the extra flavor is a perfect complement.

Once you’ve mixed together the glaze ingredients, add the blueberries and coat evenly.

Pour blueberry mixture onto your crumb crust, making sure to get all those yummy juices in there. Then, top with the remaining 1/4 crumb crust topping.

Bake your blueberry bars at 375 for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Serve and enjoy after cooling completely! Make sure to tightly wrap leftovers…but I doubt you’ll have any. 😉

One note, I used fresh blueberries and love the texture they offer. Frozen blueberries are also a great option!
