Lemon Blueberry Crumble Bars go perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning!

The sweetness is not overpowering and the flavors are well balanced with a hint of lemon enhancing the flavor of the blueberries.

So delicious !  My husband described it as one the finest desserts he has ever had in a long time.

 

 

3 Easy Steps To Make Lemon Blueberry Crumble Bars:

1.  First, make the dough in one easy step.  Then pat half of the crumble mixture into your baking pan.

2.  Next, pour the blueberry mixture on top of the crust, then with the remaining crumble on top and bake.

 

 

3.  After baking these bars, I like to wait until they cool completely, then cut them into squares.   This will ensure them from falling apart, making it easier to serve them.  And no mess.

They all freeze well too!

I love making these crumble bars and of course with the abundance of fresh berries out there in season, you can make so many different flavors.   

Enjoy!!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

For the Crust and Crumbs Topping:

• 1 cup ( 200 grams) sugar
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 3 cups ( 390 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• Zest of one large lemon (at least 2 Tbsp.)
• 1 cup (8 ounces or 225 grams or 2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
• 1 large egg

For the Filling:

• Juice of 1 lemon ( about 1/4 cup)
• 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
• 2 tsp. cornstarch
• 2 cups (1 pint) fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven to 375 F. Grease a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with baking spray. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, baking powder, flour, salt and lemon zest. Cut the butter and egg into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter. Or you can use your hands to crumble the mixture. Dough will be very crumbly. Pat only half of the crumble into the prepared pan. Set the other half aside for the topping.

For the Filling:

1. Toss together the lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch and blueberries until well combined. Pour the blueberries mixture on top the crumbled crust in an even layer. And spoon any remaining lemon juice in the bowl on top as well. Then, sprinkle the other half of the remaining crumbs over the blueberries.
2. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top and sides are golden. Allow to cool to room temperature before cutting and serving.
3. Yields: 15 to 18 bars
