Notes
- Pro tip: Cool the bars completely before slicing. The blueberry filling sets as it cools, which ensures clean slices that hold together.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries work well in this recipe. If using frozen blueberries, thaw slightly and blot dry with paper towels.
- Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
