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.

These look simply delish ! I love the creamy glaze over top. I wish I could grab one right out of the screen !
Thanks for all the recipes. I have tried several, and have filed many to ‘try’ soon.
Bobby, What did you do for the glaze on top of the blueberry bars? I have followed your blog for awhile now. I love your recipes. Thank you for sharing and keep them coming!
Ashlee Frisbey – Thanks for the compliments! I just whisked together confectioners sugar with a little milk and lemon juice.
These look delightful, so full of juicy blueberries im sure they are dangerously addictive! The fact there is so much fruit in there basically means they are a health food and count as 1 of your 5 a day though…so this is fine 🙂
Would love to give these a go, thanks for the lovely recipe!
I just put a batch in the oven, and will be doing the glaze as well. I love the photos that goes with your recipes… very well done, and helps me to know what the outcome should look like!
Love your recipes! And all of them have bee fantastic!!!! This came out great! Thanks so much!
These were fantastic. I had to keep myself and my husband from eating the whole batch in one sitting. I also love the pictures that you provide for your recipes.
I made this recipe for a cooking club meeting and everyone loved it! It tasted amazingly good.
Just made these yesterday. They are delicious but i wish the cookie part was a little crunchier. Will be using less butter next time 🙂
Do you think these would work with frozen blueberries?
Diana- Yes, frozen blueberries will work.
what are the measurements for the glaze ingredients?
Jastina a- I just mixed confectioners sugar with a little bit of milk and vanilla extract.
I just made this! Thank you so much! I halved the recipe but still turned out amazing. Loved it!
I made your blackberry bars recipe 1st and then last week I made these. They were both good but these are def my favorite! Thanks for the lovely recipes. I use this site all the time and need to comment more! Thank you 🙂
Can I use frozen blueberries? Would it still be 4 cups? would I need to adjust any other ingredients?
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.
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.
