Ingredients
Wild Blueberry Filling
- 1 lemon
- 3 cups (375g) frozen wild blueberries
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Crumble
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 3/4 cups (354g) all-purpose flour or 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup (224g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Instructions
Wild Blueberry Filling
- First, zest the lemon and set aside the zest.
- In a medium saucepan combine the blueberries first with the sugar and cornstarch, and then juice of the lemon. Stir to coat. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
- After about 5 to 8 minutes, the mixture will start to steam and bubble. Stir continuously for another 5 minutes or until the mixture is thickened and glossy, like pie filling.
- Remove from heat and mix in the lemon zest and vanilla. Pour into a wide and shallow dish and allow to cool in the refrigerator while we make the crumble.
Crumble
- Preheat the oven to 350F and grease the inside of a 9×13 baking dish. Line the bottom and all sides with parchment paper.
- Add the brown sugar, sugar, flour, salt and baking powder to a large bowl. Use your hands to mix and toss together, breaking up any brown sugar lumps as you go.
- Use a rubber spatula to stir in the butter. Spend a good couple minutes on this to ensure the mixture is evenly hydrated and no dry patches remain. It should look moist but very crumbly.
- Scoop about ⅔ of the crumble into the pan and press into a thin and even layer all the way to the edges.
- Spread the blueberry filling on top, also in a thin and even layer. Then sprinkle the remaining crumble on top, taking care to ensure the blueberry is evenly covered.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
- Allow to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- Then remove from the pan and slice into 12 large bars or 24 regular bars. Enjoy!
