Blueberry Crumb Bars
These shortbread bars are bursting with blueberries. A great way to enjoy blueberries while they're in season.
Servings: 12 Bars
Ingredients
- 3 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 c. granulated sugar divided
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 c. cold butter cubed
- 1 lg. egg
- 4 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 T. cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix in the butter and egg until well combined and crumbly. Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, stir together 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch. Gently fold in the blueberries. Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble remaining dough over the berry layer. ( I like to squeeze the dough in my hand to make bigger crumble.)
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
