Almond Pecan Crumble (used for crust and topping)
For the Blueberry Filling
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper and lightly spray the sides with cooking spray if the parchment paper doesn't completely cover.
In a large mixing bowl combine the crumble ingredients and blend with an electric mixture or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles a crumb topping and is the texture of course sand.
Press a little more than half of the mixture into the bottom of the pan, moving up the sides a bit.
In another mixing bowl combine the filling ingredients. Spoon the blueberry mixture over the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble over the berries, pressing down lightly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top begins to brown. Allow the bars to cool completely.
Corn starch does contain carbs but only 1 tablespoon is used for the entire recipe. If you prefer to leave it out you can, but the blueberry filling will not set as well.
