Blueberry Crumb Bars

August 18th, 2010

I prefer desserts that can also be served for breakfast and blueberries make these entirely acceptable to eat before noon.  The produce aisle has been spilling over with fresh blueberries, so it was only natural for me to return home with five baskets of them.   After browsing through dozens of complicated recipes, I decided on these bars, which are simple and taste like summer.  They’re juicy and crumbly and will make a terrible mess if you bring them to a picnic, so just be sure to pack extra napkins.
