Rosemary and Lemon Blackberry Bars image

These blackberry bars are best made when the berries are in peak season. They are the perfect end to a meal because they are not cloyingly sweet, and they have a nice, savory note with the addition of the rosemary. Garnish with a little lemon zest or rosemary.

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 18

cooking spray
½ cup white whole wheat flour
½ cup rolled oats
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup loosely packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 ½ teaspoons finely chopped rosemary, or more to taste
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup white whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 (6 ounce) containers fresh blackberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
  • Combine 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour, oats, 6 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; mix with a fork to make a crumbly topping. Place in the refrigerator.
  • Combine 1/2 cup butter and confectioners' sugar in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add eggs and egg yolk one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in lemon zest, rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Mix 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour, baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the creamed butter mixture in 2 to 3 batches, mixing well after each addition, until a thick dough forms.
  • Spread dough in the bottom of the prepared pan. Arrange blackberries evenly on top. Stir crumb topping and sprinkle evenly over blackberries. Press down gently to pack topping down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 1 hour.
  • Lift bars out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into 12 pieces using a long serrated knife.

The crust on these bars was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try a different crust recipe next time.

These bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

I love the combination of flavors in these bars. The rosemary and lemon really complement the blackberries. The crust is also very good. I used a gluten-free flour blend and they turned out great.

These blackberry bars were a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the tartness of the blackberries and the sweetness of the lemon and rosemary. The crust was perfectly flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making these again soon.
