Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and vanilla extract together.
5. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
6. Press two-thirds of the dough firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
7. Spread the blackberries evenly over the crust layer.
8. Crumble the remaining dough over the blackberries to form the topping.
9. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
10. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
For cleaner slices, chill the bars for 30 minutes before cutting.
Frozen blackberries can be used; thaw and drain excess liquid first.
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
