Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 9 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for pan
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
1 egg
1/2 heaping cup sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over on two sides. Spray the parchment.
  • For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Process until the mixture starts to come together and clump, 1 minute. Remove 3/4 cup and reserve; press the remaining crust mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
  • For the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, flour, cornstarch, vanilla extract and cinnamon until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of the blueberries. Pour the filling mixture over the crust, shaking the pan gently to settle the custard and berries. Pour the remaining 1 cup blueberries over the top, spreading them evenly.
  • Take the reserved crust and sprinkle it over the top of the berries, squeezing the mixture in your hands to encourage large lumps.
  • Bake for 1 hour. Let cool. Remove the bars from the pan and cut into 9 pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries. Fresh blueberries have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking the bars will make them dry. The bars are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent the bars from falling apart.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Blueberry Bonanza Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The bars are made with a simple shortbread crust, a creamy blueberry filling, and a streusel topping. They are a great way to use up fresh blueberries and are always a hit with friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give Blueberry Bonanza Bars a try!
