Blueberry Crumble bars

There is no back story for why I’m sharing this recipe today. Just that I was in a mood to make some fruity dessert and what better way to use up that jam lying in the fridge to provide all the sugar you need in it than this?! Try these Blueberry Crumble Bars

Basically, crumble bars for me should be minimally sweet, not too sweet and the filling must be the one supplying the sweet. The crumble should be buttery, as should the base itself making the bars super soft and crumbly with a fruity flavor coming through each bite. Can we all agree on that?

Right then, let’s talk about the buttery base[crust] and the crumble topping. Instead of using flour fully, I have used rolled oats to make it a tad healthier than these bars normally would be. But then you can use any flour you want. Almond meal will work perfectly too.

And these bars are not vegan, my bottom crust has an egg to hold together the buttery base and this will let you slice through the bars without ruining the shape too much.

There are a variety of combinations possible in these – so please try out all the ideas that are running in your mind.
