Ingredients
For the Crust and Crumble Topping:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter cold and grated
For the Blueberry Filling:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture using a box grater. Gently mix the grated butter into the flour mixture with your hands or a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Set aside about ¾ cup of the mixture for the crumble topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, dump in the blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and the blueberries begin to burst, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
- Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the crust in the baking pan. Sprinkle the extra crumble mixture evenly over the blueberry filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust and crumble topping are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully lift out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or bars and serve.
Notes
- Making the Crumb Mixture. Be sure to use very cold butter and that it's mixed evenly with the flour to ensure the best flavor and texture possible for the crust.
- Cool Completely. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting for neat and clean slices.
- Serving: The perfect easy-to-make sweet ending for two of my favorite weeknight easy recipes BBQ meatloaf and margarita grilled chicken. These bars are perfect for picnics, cookouts, and potlucks too.
- Storing: Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
