"These blueberry bars are bursting with berry flavor and the perfect summer treat. Banana replaces half of the butter called for in traditional crumb bar recipes, but these blueberry bars taste so moist and indulgent, you'll never want to make them any other way. Feel free to use frozen, thawed blueberries (just pat them dry) and swap other berry jams in place of the raspberry...."
