Blueberry Crumble Bars

These blueberry bars bring the delight of a classic jam-filled, crumble fruit bar but in a more healthful way. Sweetened with whole fruit and a small amount of maple syrup, the result delivers a granola bar vibe. The bars’ nutty base has a lovely chew from dried fruit, jammy centers brimming with blueberry flavor and a crunchy maple-spiked crumble topping.
