Oh my goodness- I love making treats with fruit. I love Yummy Bar Recipes!

I especially love baking with blueberries. The hubs wanted blueberry muffins but I didn’t have the right ingredients without going to the store.
I had to come up with something different & I wanted it to be something I had not made before.

Plus I was feeling pretty creative & wanted to stretch that with my baking. The blueberries were just giving me an excuse.
So I started looking & visiting some of my favorite places for inspiration.
Then I found this recipe from Sheena at Hot Eats and Cool Reads. Then I adapted the recipe to my liking.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I use frozen blueberries for this recipe?
I suppose you could if you thawed them first. However, frozen berries tend to bake out more liquid than fresh berries do, which would drastically change how these bars bake.
I would hate for your blueberry pie bars to not turn out quite right and have the whole dessert be disappointing. So I highly recommend using fresh berries for this recipe.
What can I use instead of sour cream?
I have heard of some people swapping out the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt. I have not personally tried it, so I can’t tell you from personal experience how this will change the bars.
So if you decide to make this switch, please let me know how they turn out. I’d love to know.

Oh! Gina! I have been away to long. 🙁 I didn’t know your mother has cancer. I so sorry. I understand how terrible it feels to hear this news. It’s like getting hit in the face with a bat, and then while your standing there stunned, the fleet of trucks come to run you over and they just don’t seem to stop. The grieving has started. 🙁 I am so sorry! I will be praying, praying for her – for you and your whole family. This is so very hard. My love goes out to you my friend. Now I get all the photos of the baking. . .I have looked quickly in blogger just to drool and hurry on my way to get school done. The photos are wonderful by the way. I bake too when I’m nerves, worried, over whelmed. 🙂
xoxo, lisa

Those look amazing and seriously love how you just came up with something! We have a couple blueberry bushes and maybe I’ll be able to make these if the birds don’t beat me to my berries like they always do!
Kim Cunningham says
Oh and I meant to add that I will keep praying for your mom!

Prayers for your mother. My husbands grandpa is in the same boat, and that pneumonia is just lingering and taking so long to get rid of. Those bars, though, look and sounds divine!
Serendipity is Sweet says
Holy cow, that looks ah-mazingly delicious!!
And gosh, your poor mom is sick too?! She’s been through the ringer lately. Praying she gets well and gets some good news soon. I know it must be so tough not to be able to be with her. My mom went through several back surgeries and I was only able to visit once. I was so nerve-wracking and sad not to be with her. I know she knows you are with her in spirit. I will continue to keep her in my prayers.
Hang in there friend. ((hugs))

Yum, I’ll be making it this weekend! I have to tell you…when I read step #12, “Cool before serving if eating alone.” I thought you meant if you are eating it all by yourself…which is what I might end up doing since it looks so good!! LOL!

Thanks Gina! Just out of the oven. Tastes great! I added yogurt instead of sour cream and added lemon zest and juice for extra tartness. LOVE!
