Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 pinch salt
½ cup butter, chilled and diced
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh blueberries

⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

Make the topping: In a medium bowl, cream together the 5 tablespoons butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, so that the mixture is crumbly like streusel. Sprinkle over the blueberry layer.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned. Cool and then dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting into bars.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries: Fresh blueberries are ideal for this recipe, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help the bars hold their shape.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: The bars are done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. A toothpick inserted into the center of the filling should come out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: The bars need to cool completely before they can be cut. Otherwise, they will be too soft and will fall apart.

Conclusion:

Blueberry Crumb Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple cream cheese crust, a sweet and tangy blueberry filling, and a buttery crumb topping. The bars are best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
