This recipe is a cinch to make, and there are no kitchen or baker qualifications necessary to slam out a perfect rendition of these bars! They have a soft, buttery shortbread-style crust and an ooey-gooey #blueberryfilling.

There's not too much sugar in the mix so you don't have to feel guilty about giving it to the kids first thing in the morning, and best of all, they're so easy to make!

To kick off the recipe, you'll start by making the #crust. If you have a food processor, this will speed along the recipe drastically! If you don't have one, you'll just need a large mixing bowl and a pastry blender.

Start by adding flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the bowl of the food processor fitted with a blade and pulse until the mix is combined. Then, you'll add cold butter and shortening and pulse again until it turns into a crumbly mix. Last, add in an egg and vanilla and process until the dough starts to form.

If you need instructions for making the crust by hand, they're available at TAK's website!

On to the filling! Add #freshblueberries, lemon zest and juice, cornstarch, and sugar to a bowl and stir until the blueberries are evenly coated.

Once your filling is ready, it's time to assemble! Grab a 9x13" casserole dish, grease it with nonstick cooking spray and add about two-thirds of the dough to the bottom of the dish. Pat it out into an even layer of crust. Add the blueberry filling, and then sprinkle the remaining dough evenly across the top.

Bake the bars at 375°F for about 45 minutes, just until the crumble topping is golden brown. Remove the #BlueberryaBars from the oven and allow it too cool until it is just warm to the touch. If you want the bars to be handheld, you'll have to allow them to cool completely.

Otherwise, grab yourself a plate and a fork and get ready to dig into your new favorite blueberry treat!
