Blueberry Cobbler Bars | Spark Your Summer

These Blueberry Cobble Bars are truly simple to make and leave the most wonderful smell of baked blueberries drifting through the house.

Can you believe it’s already week four of Spark Your Summer?!  I’m so excited about today’s guest, Gina from Kleinworth & Co.  Gina has been linking up to my weekly I’m Lovin’ It linky party for a long time, and I’ve been a huge fan of her recipes and photography!  Earlier this year we finally had the chance to meet, and she’s even more wonderful in person!  Today she is here with a delicious blueberry recipe that I can’t wait to make! Make sure to head over to Kleinworth & Co. for lots of fun ideas and recipes.

Hi there Cetcu readers! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. & I’m so thrilled to be here today. I had the pleasure of not only meeting Cheryl at SNAP! Conference but getting some quality one on one time with her too. I can tell you- I had the best time getting to know her & she is every bit as wonderful in person as you see here in her space. I can’t wait for the next time we can catch up in person.

On Kleinworth & Co. I share photography tips, easy projects & a whole lot of recipes. I have a passion for being in the kitchen & an even bigger passion for pretty food pictures. One thing I use a lot of in my recipes is blueberries. We seem to be enjoying a blueberry recipe nearly every week. So I thought it would be great to share our favorite Blueberry Cobbler Bars with you all today.

These are truly simple to make & leave the wonderful smell of baked blueberries drifting through the house. Heaven! 

I love that these can be enjoyed as a treat or over morning coffee.

Of course, I have been known to eat chocolate chip cookies over coffee too. (any excuse)

These are perfect for this time of year because I am usually packing the house with fresh produce. Summer is so great for that. This recipe works well with both fresh or frozen – so take all those summer berries, pack them away & you can enjoy this all year long.

Just look at that buttery crumble topping- so tasty.

This recipe also works well with other berries. Since we are in North Idaho – our all-time favorite is to use Huckleberries. I figured they might be hard to come by in other areas – which is why I chose blueberry to share today.
