I have to say I was disappointed in how these turned out . . . especially considering all of the glowing reviews! The base was too flour-y for me, and a bit on the bland side. The filling was good but the topping was too flour-y in taste as well. I think adding oats or something would break up the texture a bit? Not sure but I just didn't have the same great results that others did. May try again as it is a great idea for all the summer blueberries.

Subbed butter for shortening and they were delicious! I have also made these with strawberries and a little extra cornstarch too. Fantastic either way.

made with frozen strawberry slices, and they were fantastic. pretty forgiving recipe, too--you can do a lot of things to it and it turns out great. i did not use enough strawberries for my liking, next time i will do a generous two layers of slices.

This recipe was AMAZING. It tastes just like my mothers blueberry buckle, but with more blueberry goodness. I followed other reviewers' suggestions and: (a) replaced 1c white sugar in crust with 1/2 c light brown sugar + 1/2 c white sugar. (b) added 1 tsp cinnamon to crust (instead of a pinch). (c) added the optional salt (d) added 1 tsp vanilla to the egg (e) added 1 tsp lemon juice to the sugar, cornstarch, and blueberry mixture (f) added one extra tsp cornstarch Definitely worth a try! I'm about to head out to buy more blueberries to make more!

This was one of the best desserts I've ever made! I served it at a dinner party, sort of like a cobbler. The cinnamon I think gives it a distinct taste. I also highly recommend that you serve this with vanilla ice cream to cut the sweetness.

Lower carb version: I made a pan today using 1/2 c. sugar and 1/2 c. Splenda in the bar portion and it was very good. I did use sugar only with the fruit, but cut the amount down to 1/4 cup with success. Enjoy!

This is my "GO TO" summer dessert in blueberry season! I have made it 6 times in the last 3 weeks and it goes over so well. I usually do the 1/2 cup white and the 1/2 cup LIGHT brown sugar (not dark, it does make a difference) and don't skip the cinnamon. I usually cook 40 minutes only, just until it is slightly browned on top. Great warm, cooled, dessert or breakfast!
