Blueberry Crisp Bars

These bars are a versatile treat – you can serve them for dessert or breakfast!  They taste like a little bite of blueberry pie!

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 pinch ground cinnamon
4 cups blueberries
1/2 cup white sugar
3 teaspoons cornstarch

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and grease a 9×13 inch pan

In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, cinnamon and baking powder.  Use a fork, blend in the butter and egg – the dough will be crumbly.

Pat half of dough into the prepared pan.

In another bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch.  Gently mix in the blueberries.  Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust.

Crumble remaining dough over the berry layer.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown.

Cool completely before cutting into squares.  Seriously, completely, or you will have a runny mess on your hands!

Yum!
