Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
2. In a bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in melted butter and stir until coarse crumbs form.
3. Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture firmly into the pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes until light golden.
4. While the crust bakes, toss blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla until evenly coated.
5. Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the partially baked crust.
6. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the berries, pinching some clumps together for texture.
7. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling bubbles at the edges.
8. Cool completely on a wire rack, then use the parchment overhang to lift the bars and cut into squares.
