Lemon Blueberry Crumble Bars are perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning!

So delicious! My husband described it as one of the finest breakfast treats he has ever had in a long time.
Only 3 Easy Steps To Make Lemon Blueberry Crumble Bars:
1. First, make the buttery crust in one easy step, which also doubles as the crumble topping. Then pat more than half of the crumble mixture on the bottom of your baking pan. Reserve about 1 cup of the mixture for the topping.
2. Next, make the blueberry filling. Then pour the blueberry mixture on top of the crust. And sprinkle with the remaining crumble on top, then bake for about 30 minutes.
3. Finally, after baking this dessert, I prefer to wait until it cools completely, about 2 hours or more before cutting them into squares. This will help to ensure they won’t fall apart while cutting them into bars, making it easier to serve them. And no mess.
Your family and friends will LOVE these lemon blueberry crumble bars!
This is not only a delicious recipe but one you will enjoy making over and over again. They taste so fancy. They make the perfect summertime treat to serve at any luncheon or brunch.
These blueberry bars will stay fresh up to 3 days at room temperature and longer if kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator. They freeze well too, up to one month!
With an abundance of fresh blueberries in season, I hope you will try these bars and enjoy them as much as we do!
ENJOY!!

July 21, 2020 at 2:21 pmHi Joan! I have followers and friends who have used almond flour and other gluten-free flours with our recipes, and they have said it’s been great! So I am guessing you can.

July 21, 2020 at 12:47 pmCan you use frozen blueberries in this recipe
by Anna and Liz
July 21, 2020 at 1:10 pmHi Donna,
I have never made these bars with frozen blueberries. But if I had to guess, it’s probably best to defrost the berries first. Then use a paper towel to gently dry off any excess water. Too much liquid will ruin the texture of these bars. Also, do not add additional berries than the recipe calls for, if too many, the juice from the blueberries will make the bars too soft to cut and serve. I hope this helps!

July 28, 2018 at 10:50 amBaked these yesterday. I put in 2 lemons worth of zest and they have a nice strong lemon blueberry flavor. I also put in some more blueberries because I had them in the fridge. Tempting as it might be – I caution people against putting more than one layer of blueberries in the pan. The juicy blueberries might make the bars fall apart.
Flavor overall is good but the texture is not a true bar cookie, more like a flat crumble. Very soft. They can be picked up and eaten if you are careful, but you could also put on a plate and use a fork.
I dont know that this is “one of the finest desserts” but it is very nice and easily put together. Might be a good cooking lesson for a tween who is ready to move past scrambled eggs and pancakes.

July 28, 2018 at 12:57 pmHi Rebecca! So glad to hear youโve tried my crumble bars! Adding more zest sounds wonderful (since we adore lemon flavor) and adding more blueberries will definitely change the texture of these bars. But overall, the flavors combined are delicious. Adding only 2 cups of the blueberries will give you the end result of a crumble bars as I have shown here. Enjoy and thanks for leaving your comment!
