Blueberries are in season and it is time to start baking with them! This recipe is originally from Cooking Classy and I have tried and tested it on numerous occasions! These bars are delicious, straightforward to make and are perfect as a snack at any time of the day! These bars are a combination of your classic pie, a fruit crumble and a cookie bar! The recipe is very forgiving and it may just become your new favourite summer treat! Enjoy the bars cold, warm or even with a scoop of ice cream!
