Blueberry Cobbler Bars
Are you guys ready for some blueberry recipes? Hubby and I picked fifteen pounds of blueberries! So I’ve been baking up a storm the last few days to use them all up. I have quite a few that we froze because blueberries freeze so well. This way we’ll have freshly picked blueberries year-round for some delicious summertime treats no matter what the weather is doing outside.
These bars taste just like the name implies. Like a delicious blueberry cobbler, but in a portable little bar. I shared these with some friends and coworkers and every really enjoyed them.
I think you could substitute any fruit that you have on hand in place of the blueberries in this recipe. Raspberries would be delicious! Be sure to stay tuned for more blueberry recipes coming your way!

Blueberry Cobbler Bars
Yield: 24 bars
Ingredients:
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
4 cups blueberries
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9x13" pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, cream together canola oil, butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, and almond extract and beat well. Add the flours and baking soda and stir just until the batter comes together.
Spread 2/3 of the batter in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with berries, then drop the remaining dough in spoonfuls over the fruit.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
As a teacher, I still get nervous for the first day of school! Same butterflies in my tummy I had for the first day of high school 🙂
The look SO yummy, hope to try making them soon.
The flavor combination of PB&J always brings me back to my childhood. I loved the first day of school – new outfit, new backpack and school supplies…
Yum these look great Jen!! I totally agree on adding more jelly or jam to these…the ooey gooey of PB sticks to the roof of my mouth. Make sure to have milk if these bars are made! LOL
Tomorrow marks the first day of my eight year of teaching so I love your back to school post. I am bookmarking this recipe, love PB & J!
I have been obsessed with peanut butter lately and these look simply amazing….even if I’m not headed back to school! Yum!
These bars looks absolutely perfect.
My favorite part of going back to school was (and I know I’m a nerd for saying this) was using new school supplies. My mom always got us the best pens, pencils, folders, binders, erasers…you name it. And whipping them out the first week of class was the best feeling ever.
This looks perfect for the back to school season! I’m a nanny so I know the little I watch would love to make these for herself and friends. I guess I know what we are doing tonight 🙂
This is very similar to my favorite workout bar–Clif Mojo Peanut Butter & Jelly. Maybe I can start saving money and make my own bars. Thanks!
I’ve made something similar before, but these look SO good my stomach is grumbling 🙂 Definitely bookmarking for soon! I miss the new outfits and seeing who’s in all your classes 🙂
