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 don’t eat strawberries but Alex does so I am looking forward to all the great recipes you’ll be sharing with us this week!
Btw, I gave you a blog award 🙂
This looks like the perfect little summer dessert 🙂 I, too, am happy just popping strawberries in my mouth, but always welcome a more desserty type option. I love your little dessert cups, too!

I CAN’T WAIT TO TRY THESE, THE LOOK WONDERFUL!
I love love love strawberries and love your idea of doing a whole week of recipes featuring them. I must stop by the farmers market on Friday to pick some up!
I LOVE individually sized desserts! And strawberries! Looks amazing 🙂
My husband goes Strawberry picking every year and my mom makes him Jam, I think I might have to make these for him this year too.
I hate to be negative, but this recipe was a little disappointing for me.
I loved! the cobbler topping. But the filling was way too sweet. It was like eating strawberry jam straight from the jar. And I even cut the sugar down to 1/3 cup and used about 3 cups of strawberries.
Thanks so much for sharing it though. I look forward to trying the cobbler topping with other fruit fillings.
alexandjess – sorry to hear you didn’t like the fruit filling in this recipe. I wasn’t using the ripest berries when I made it. Maybe that’s why it was too sweet for you? Bummer either way 🙁
What a beautiful cobbler! The filling looks pretty and bright.
Wow, great job here. Awesome picture too! You should really consider submitting this to Recipe4Living’s Fall Cobbler Recipe Contest! It looks delicious!
