Great use of summer berries. I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup of white sugar for the crust. I also used butter flavor crisco. I added the salt and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. For the berries, I used 4 teaspoons of cornstarch. I made a glaze of powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk. Yummy bars and not too sweet. Will def make again. Thanks for sharing!

Yummy!! I totally loved these! Used frozen berries, added twice the amount of cornstarch, added half a teaspoon of ground vanilla bean and substituted some of the flour with oats. The cooking time were perfect, even with frozen berries.

The crust was too thick, dense, and bland.

Absolutely awesome! I made these exactly as directed except I used strawberries instead of blueberries. They came out amazing and they were super easy! I never thought I'd be able to find such a delicious dairy-free dessert.

This recipe is fantastic and just downright good. It has a fresh fruity flavor that doesn't disappoint. I substitute butter instead of shortening since I had it on hand. Great easy recipe. We even eat these for breakfast.

I didn't have any blueberries, blackberries or raspberries but i did have some frozen strawberries. I used that and it turned out really good! i recommend leaving it out to melt a bit when you mix it with sugar and cornstarch, it gives more juices. I definately will make it again!

I really didn't enjoy these, unfortunately. Even with additional cinnamon, they lacked proper sweetness and saltiness and were quite one dimensional in flavor. I tried to salvage them with a butter/brown sugar/salt crumble top and it helped... Just don't understand the high rating on these.
