I'm not a big one for fruit desserts, but since I'm married to Jon, and as I went to pick fresh blueberries Thursday morning, I figured I should try these out. They are amazing. Highly recommended even for us chocolate folk.
Crust:
1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/14 tsp salt
11 T cold butter, cut into cubes
1 egg
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is a course meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, lemon zest and vanilla until blended. Add to flour mixture and stir until blended but still crumbly. Press into the bottom of a greased 9x13" pan.
Filling:
3/4 cup sugar
1 T cornstarch
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
2 cups blueberries
In a medium bowl, compine everything but the blueberries. Add the berries and toss to coat well. Spread them evenly over the crust.
Topping:
1 cup flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
6 T butter, melted
In a medium bowl, stir the flour, sugars, cinnamon and salt until blended. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture comes together. Sprinkle evenly over the blueberry filling.
Bake bars for 48-50 mins. at 350 degrees or until the topping is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly. Cool completely. (Still good while warm, though.) Enjoy!

How would they be if my blueberries aren't handpicked and licked by kitties? Still good? Are they a breakfast thing or a dessert?
Still good. It says to use individually frozen blueberries if they aren't fresh. Although maybe you could still get kitties to lick them... Is that even a question? It's dessert when you make them and breakfast when you eat them the next morning.
