Blueberry Crumble Bars

Blueberry Crunch Bars first appeared in my third cookbook, Sweetness: Southern Recipes to Celebrate the Warmth, the Love, an the Blessings of a Full Life.

This recipe is from my friend, Valerie Holt, who teaches Home Economics at Woodland High School in  in Cartersville, Georgia. We met at the National Cornbread Festival and became fast friends.

As a blueberry lover myself, I have to tell you that I made these the moment Valerie shared the recipe with me and have already lost count of how many times I’ve made them since! Blueberry Crunch Bars

The ingredients are simple and you likely have most of them on hand. The recipe is pretty straight forward as well and it’s in printable format at the bottom of this post!Blueberry Crunch Bars

  1. Can anyone tell me what to use if I don’t own a food processor? Never had one and am not familiar with how they work but want to make these bars this weekend.

  2. Christy, what can I use if I don’t have a food processor. I have never used one and am very unfamiliar with them but wanted to make these this weekend. Thanks for your help!

  3. Made these for Passover using blackberries.. Left out the baking soda to stay in accordance with Torah. They were amazing. I really appreciate the recipes that you have listed that are in keeping with the biblical feasts.

    1. Why didn’t I think of these for Passover? I will next year! We had 2 ingredient banana pancakes one night and I think, out of all the meals, that was probably our favorite, aside from the big seder with our fellowship. We are only three years into keeping the feasts now but I’ll surely have many more recipes as the years go on. Thank you for pointing this one out!! His feasts are such a blessing! have a wonderful week!

  4. I’m on a cardiac weight reduction diet. Does anyone have the nutrients breakdown for the blueberry crunch or is it posted somewhere. It sounds delicious but I am on a very strict plan. Thank you.
