Blueberry Crumb Bars

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup white granulated sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup salted butter cold
• 1 large egg
• 2 ½ cups frozen blueberries thawed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Whisk together the flour, sugars, baking soda, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
3. Cut the butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the butter is broken down into pea-sized pieces.
4. Add the egg to the mixing bowl. Use the pastry cutter or your hands to work it in until it’s incorporated with the rest of the dough.
5. Press about 3/4 of the dough into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form a crust. Set aside.
6. In a medium sized bowl, stir together the blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch. Pour the blueberry mixture into the pan and sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top.
7. Bake your crumb bars for 40 minutes. Let the bars cool on the counter for about 20 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
