Lemon Blueberry Crumble Bars
Lemon Blueberry Crumble Bars are a delightful blend of sweet and tangy flavors, featuring a buttery base topped with juicy blueberries and a crispy crumble. They are perfect for any occasion, easy to make, and can be enjoyed warm or chilled.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- Add ½ cup of melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until crumbly.
- Set aside about one cup of the mixture for later. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, zest of 1 tablespoon lemon, and ¼ cup lemon juice. Whisk until combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and pour the mixture over the crust in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture on top and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Once done, let cool for at least 15 minutes before lifting out with parchment and slicing into squares.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification. Fresh blueberries work best; if using frozen, toss them in flour before adding. Allow bars to cool completely before slicing.
