Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Press half of the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base for your blackberry crumb bars.
- In a medium bowl, gently toss the fresh blackberries with 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
- Spread the blackberry mixture evenly over the crust.
- Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the blackberry layer to create the crumb topping for your blackberry streusel bars.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbly.
- Let the blackberry cobbler bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For gluten-free blackberry crumb bars, substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- Ensure blackberries are fresh for the best flavor in your homemade blackberry crumb bars.
- Allow bars to cool fully to prevent them from falling apart when sliced.
