Fresh Blueberry Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over on two sides. Spray the parchment.
• For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Process until the mixture starts to come together and clump, 1 minute. Remove 3/4 cup and reserve; press the remaining crust mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
• For the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, flour, cornstarch, vanilla extract and cinnamon until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of the blueberries. Pour the filling mixture over the crust, shaking the pan gently to settle the custard and berries. Pour the remaining 1 cup blueberries over the top, spreading them evenly.
• Take the reserved crust and sprinkle it over the top of the berries, squeezing the mixture in your hands to encourage large lumps.
• Bake for 1 hour. Let cool. Remove the bars from the pan and cut into 9 pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch square baking dish.
• To make the crust: Cream shortening, sugar, one egg, milk and almond extract in a large bowl. Mix in flour and baking powder, stirring constantly. Spread crust evenly in baking pan. Top with blueberries.
• To make the topping: In a medium bowl, beat two eggs, and cream cheese until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and almond extract. Spread over blueberries.
• Bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Cool in pan before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, and baking powder. Mix in salt and cinnamon, if desired. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the shortening and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of dough into the prepared pan.
• In another bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Gently mix in the blueberries. Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble remaining dough over the berry layer.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, add the flour and brown sugar; stir to mix.
• With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Press 1 1/3 cup of mixture onto the bottom of an ungreased 8-inch square baking pan.
• In another bowl, mix together the cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
• Add the remaining crumb mixture, sour cream, egg, and vanilla; stir to blend.
• Add blueberries; stir to combine.
• Spoon filling mixture evenly over the crust.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
• Cool in the pan.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Cut into bars and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Combine flour, oats, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve about 2 cups flour-butter mixture. Press remaining mixture into the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
• Bring blueberries, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Spread blueberry mixture over crust and sprinkle with reserved oat mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping is just browned, about 25 minutes. Cool before cutting and serving.
