Vegan Blueberry Crumb Bars {gf, v, rsf}
Updated: May 24
Considering it’s June, and blueberries are in season this month, I thought it was only fitting to curate some recipes featuring this lovely fruit. So, that’s how we got these beautiful Blueberry Crumb Bars! These have always been a fave of mine, but before now, I never thought to attempt my own recipe; glad I did because these are a winner. These crumb bars are lightly sweetened, full of texture, and packaged with nutrient dense ingredients. They’re perfect warmed up for breakfast or served over melty, vanilla ice cream— yum! These babies are gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free, too. Let’s just cut to the recipe already!
