Peanut Butter Blueberry Pie Bars
National Blueberry Pie Day is April 28th and we’re celebrating it with a blueberry pie twist via these Peanut Butter Blueberry Pie Bars!
Using peanut butter dough for both the crust and the streusel, the result is almost like a peanut butter cookie with a blueberry pie filling. So yummy!
These sliceable bars are easy to transport and perfect for outdoor picnics when bringing a pie might be too difficult.
