These AIP Blueberry Crumble Bars are amazing. And they are super easy to make too with ingredients easily available in your AIP pantry!
I have posted AIP Strawberry Crisp recipe before which is great too. However, this time I wanted to make a grain free crumble bar since I was making a gluten free blueberry crumble bar for my family. For the gluten free version, I followed this recipe and replaced the all purpose flour with my favorite gluten free blend – King Arthur Measure for Measure.
What are the ingredients for making AIP Blueberry Crumble Bars?
- Cassava Flour – I recommend only Otto’s or Anthony’s Goods Premium (not organic)
- Arrowroot Flour
- Palm Shortening – I like Nutiva brand
- Baking soda
- Maple Syrup – Any organic brand like this one
- Blueberries – Fresh or Frozen
- Tapioca starch
- Lemon juice
- Sea salt
This is a perfect dessert when you need to make something quick!

This was so delicious as well as pretty simple to make. A new go-to for me! I realized too late that my loaf pan is bigger than 9 inches, so the layers weren’t quite right. This seems like a very easy recipe to increase quantities for pan size and individual preferences for the amount of filling versus the amount of crumble.
thanks so much for the feedback. Appreciate it!
