Notes

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour. You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier alternative. Feel free to use frozen blueberries if fresh ones aren't available. These bars can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. Before serving, let the bars sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes to enhance flavors.
