This blueberry dish can be made two ways: regular or gluten and refined sugar free. I made it first (see pic below the recipe) the regular way. It turned out like perfect little bars should. Then I made it gluten free, but I didn’t adjust the flour correctly, so it was a little dry, but totally, still delicious. So. If you are going to make it normally, using regular flour, follow the recipe. If you are going to be making it gluten free, see my notes.
