Blueberry Crumb Bars

I just made these today when I noticed a full pint of blueberries untouched in my refrigerator.   Wow these are good!  Sweet and tart all in the same bite!  The addition of the Greek yogurt in the filling is perfect to cut the sweetness of all the sugar in the crust.  These were delicious straight out of the oven or once they are cooled!  You can also substitute any berry that you prefer as well as mixing all the leftover berries together! I will have to try that next time.

Ingredients:

Bottom Crust and Crumble Topping:

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

Pinch of salt

3/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Filling:

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup flour

1/2 cup non-fat greek yogurt

Pinch of salt

2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Preparation:

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl combine all crust ingredients (flour, sugar, salt and cubed butter).  Using a hand mixer blend ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse sand.  It should be crumbly not smooth.  Remove 1 cup of the crust mixture and set aside to use as the topping.  Take the remaining crumb mixture and press into the prepared 9x13 baking dish covering the bottom.  Bake the crust in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the crust is firm but should not be brown.

While the crust is baking prepare the filling.  In a bowl whisk the eggs and hen add the sugar, greek yogurt, flour and salt.

When the crust is ready pour the blueberry filling over the top of the hot crust and then take your remaining cup of the crust mixture and sprinkle over the top of the filling.  Bake for 60 min until the top is slightly browned.  Wait about 20 minutes and slice into squares.  Or if you do not have the patience serve by the spoonful hot over ice cream! YUMMY!
