Featuring a juicy blueberry filling and a buttery, crumbly brown sugar streusel, there’s much to love about these blueberry pie bars. The filling and streusel come together quickly, and the crust and crumble topping are made from the same mixture, so there’s no need to dirty an additional bowl. They’re easy to make, transport, serve, and freeze!
If you love blueberry crumble pie, but making pie crust from scratch intimidates you, this blueberry pie bar recipe is the answer. You’ll get the same delicious flavors, but with the welcome ease of making a single “dough” that becomes both crust and topping—no finicky pie crust chilling, shaping, or latticing today! Dessert is served. 🙂
This is everything you need for juicy blueberry bar perfection:
Stir everything together until it’s formed large crumbles, with no visibly dry parts. Reserve about 1/3 of this mixture to use as the crumble topping, and press the remaining 2/3 into a 9-inch-square baking pan lined with parchment paper (which makes the bars easy to lift out and slice). I use the same tip when making rice krispie treats and M&M cookie bars, too.
These bars are delicious served cold or room temperature, or warm one up and top with vanilla ice cream for an à la mode experience! You can also top them with whipped cream.

This is blueberry pie without the hassle of making a homemade pie crust! To prepare these easy blueberry pie bars, layer a buttery brown sugar crust, jammy blueberry filling, and a crumbly oat topping. The crust and crumble topping are made from the same mixture, so there's no need to dirty an additional bowl. Cool completely before cutting.
