Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease a 9x13 glass baking dish. Set aside.
- In small saucepan, combine 3 cups blueberries (505g), sugar, cornstarch, salt, and lemon juice over medium-low heat.
- Stir frequently until the blueberries release their juices, and the mixture is very liquidy (about 5-8 mins).
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Boil (still stirring constantly) for 1 minutes and remove from heat. Add remaining 2 cups of blueberries, butter, and vanilla extract and stir until butter is melted. Allow to cool while you prepare your crust.
- To prepare your cookie crust, combine flour, sugars, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt in a food processor and pulse briefly until combined.
- Sprinkle your butter pieces evenly over the dry ingredients and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add egg and vanilla extract and pulse again until mixture just begins to cling together.
- Pour ½ of your cookie batter into the bottom of your prepared pan and use your hands or the back of a spoon to press evenly into the bottom of the pan to form a crust.
- Pour your cooled blueberry filling evenly over the crust.
- Use your hands to sprinkle the remaining crust mixture evenly over the top of the filling.
- Transfer to the oven and bake on 350F (175C) for 55-60 minutes or until the top of the blueberry crumb bars is golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely (2-3 hours) before slicing and serving. If you prefer to enjoy these warm the crumb bars WILL fall apart if sliced before they have cooled and set, so plan to use a spoon!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- This recipe has been successfully made using Cup4Cup gluten free flour. It was noted that the crust needed to bake longer than indicated in the recipe to become crisp.
