Healthy Blueberry Crumb Bars
This version is absolutely delicious without the gluten or refined sugar.
One of the tastiest ‘healthy’ desserts I’ve made with almond flour – it has lots of texture and juicy blueberries in every bite.
I also love that the cake batter is prepared quickly in ONE BOWL. You know what that means: less cleanup! The crumble obviously needs its own smaller cereal size bowl.
An easy substitute for the almond flour and coconut flour is using 2 cups of oat flour instead. Of course you can also use all purpose flour as well.
Make sure you have some patience and wait for the cake to cool down at least 15 minutes from the pan. Then probably another 15-20 minutes to slice.

I’m giving this 5 stars because I know this will be excellent. My question about the blueberries, I have frozen. Should I thaw them first or no?
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Stella, is it OK to use agave syrup instead of maple, please? And also, a half-half of almond and normal flour😬 (I don’t have any coconut flour and not enough almond either, unfortunately 😥). Thank you!
Looks great! I Will definitely be making this! Just wondering if frozen berries would work?
yes should work no problem!
I tried this and it tasted really good but had an odd consistency. Could it be because I used frozen blueberries?
