He did cut the butter and sugar down quite a bit in the top and bottom crusts. Also, we think that next time he can eliminate the sugar on the berries as well. Our toddler really likes them too.

(and me of course!! ha ha) On the bottom layer I used 1/2c of brown sugar and for the flour I used whole wheat. In the middle layer, I eliminated the sugar completely (why do we need to add extra sugar to berries we already love as they are???!!!). For the top layer I used 1/3c white and 2/3c whole wheat flour. It turned out GREAT! SO good and it was a huge hit with my son as well :) Thanks for posting the recipe up!

The only change I think I might make next time is cut the amount of almond extract mixed with the blueberries. The flavors are great together but after eating these for a couple of days, I decided the almond was a little overpowering. If you make them, you might want to try using 1/2 t. of almond extract instead of a full teaspoon. About the photo: I am very new to food photography and I don't know that much about photography in general so every good shot I've taken up to this point has been pretty much accidental :-) For this one, the blueberry bar was sitting in the middle of a big white tray and I just got as close as I could. I've been using natural light instead of a flash so the latest photos have been taken towards the evening when I have good light coming in through the kitchen window that isn't too harsh. I just keep taking them until I get something I like. Unfortunately I don't have photoshop so I really have to make sure I capture what I want since I can only do basic editing with <a href="http://picasa.google.com/" rel="nofollow">Picasa</a>. I am trying to learn more about photography. I have a great <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos300d/" rel="nofollow">camera</a> and I'd like to be able to take full advantage of it! Here's an informative <a href="http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">site</a> about digital photography that I've been checking out and I've also learned a lot from studying other food photos on <a href="http://flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=food+&m=text" rel="nofollow">Flickr</a>. Sometimes I ask questions about the photos I really like. Thanks to both of you :-) Sandy, this definitely makes a great dessert!
