Blueberries, Kuchen Bars, Brunch Recipe

I am back with a yummy twist to the Cherry Kuchen Bars that I shared with you a few weeks ago. I am warning you, if you thought that the Cherry Kuchen Bars were dangerous, just wait until you try these Blueberry Kuchen Bars!

You can serve them for breakfast, lunch, dinner or anytime in between. Not only do they taste amazing, they are easy to make too!

With love from my kitchen to yours,
