Blueberry crumble bars recipe
These blueberry crumble bars begin with a buttery shortbread-like layer, then a blueberry layer on top, then it’s finished off with another golden crumb layer. The blueberry layer turns jammy and gooey as it bakes! The blueberry bars smell so good warm out of the oven, but you’ll have to wait until they have completely chilled to cut the squares. You’ve been warned that these blueberry crumb bars are addictive!

Directions
1. To make the blueberry crumb bars: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, and baking powder. Mix in salt and cinnamon, if desired. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter and egg. The dough will be crumbly. Pat half of the dough into the prepared baking pan.
3. In another bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Gently mix in the fresh blueberries. Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the berry layer.
4. Bake the blueberry crumble bars in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden-brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy! ❤️
