Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your bars the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help prevent the bars from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown: The bars are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Blueberry walnut bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of blueberry walnut bars that will disappear quickly.
