Blueberry Lime Crumble Bars Recipe
Ingredients
For the Crust & Crumble:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 4 oz unsalted butter
- 1 egg
For the Berry Filling:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries or your favorite berry mix
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 tsp arrowroot or cornstarch
- 1 ½ tbsp lime juice or lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven.
- Set your oven to 375°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
Prepare the berry filling.
- In a small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with coconut sugar, lime juice, and arrowroot. Set aside.
- Make the crust and crumble.
- Using an electric mixer, combine flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, butter, and egg. Mix until the dough is moist but crumbly.
Assemble the bars.
- Divide the dough in half. Press one half evenly into the bottom of the greased pan to form the crust. Spread the berry mixture over the crust, then sprinkle the remaining dough over the berries to create the crumble topping.
Bake.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the berry juices are bubbling and the crumble topping is lightly browned.
Cool and enjoy.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting, or serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
