Blueberry Pie Bars
Why make a blueberry pie when you can whip up these Blueberry Pie Bars in half the time? Made with an ooey gooey blueberry filling and a buttery brown sugar streusel, they’re an easy and berrylicious way to use up your fresh summer blueberries.
Servings: 9 bars
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 10 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla
For the filling:
- 3 cups blueberries
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 1” overhang for easy removal; set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt together, then pour in the butter and vanilla and stir to combine.
- Press ⅔ of the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, stir the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla together, then pour the mixture overtop of the crust. Sprinkle the remaining ⅓ crust mixture overtop of the blueberries.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the bars for 55 minutes, or until the blueberries are bubbling and the crust is golden. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before pulling on the parchment paper to remove them. Slice into 9 bars and enjoy!
Notes
*Calories are per bar and are an estimation
I typically slice bars made in an 8x8 dish into 9, but you could also slice into 16 smaller bars if you prefer.
