Blueberry crumb bars are an excellent way to use up fresh blueberries. One thing that I enjoy about this recipe is that it is fairly easy to make. The process is very simple, a dough mixture is placed into the bottom of a baking pan, topped with fresh blueberries and the remaining dough mixture is then crumbled on top. These bake for about 45 minutes and you will be enjoying them in no time.

Just an idea. I am making these for the first time today. I hope for great results. But the glaze.....I am going to make the glaze but with a touch of lemon in it. instead of making the glaze with milk you would make it with lemon juice. That is my spin on it.

They look yummy. Going to try them today. I see you lined the pan with foil? Is that preferred over parchment paper?

You can use whatever you would prefer. I have always used foil, it is just a personal preference.

Can I use frozen blueberries? Would it still be 4 cups? would I need to adjust any other ingredients?
