Ingredients

Scale

Crust and Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup cold butter, cut into cubes

Filling

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Crust and Topping Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Form Crust: Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating a solid crust layer.
  4. Make Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup sour cream, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the filling mixture, taking care not to crush the berries.
  6. Assemble Bars: Pour the blueberry filling evenly over the pressed crust in the baking pan.
  7. Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining one-third of the crumb mixture evenly over the blueberry filling to form the crumble topping.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 24 bars to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is cold when cutting it into the flour to achieve the perfect crumbly texture.
  • Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen can be used if fresh are not available—just do not thaw them before mixing.
  • Letting the bars cool completely helps the filling to firm up, making slicing easier.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a slightly tangier flavor.
