Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen, no need to thaw) Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Crust and Topping
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss the blueberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Set aside while you prepare the crust and topping.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  5. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending until crumbly.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Take about two-thirds of the mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This will be your crust.
  2. Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the crust, and then sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top.
  3. Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the blueberries are bubbling.
  4. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or in the fridge for about a week. Can be frozen for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for about 20 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
