FRESH BLUEBERRY SQUARES



Fresh Blueberry Squares image

If you're looking for an easy, delicious blueberry recipe...you've just found it! I've had this one for over 40 years, and make it at least once every blueberry season. The texture is moist, soft & a little chewy, with a slight crunch from the cinnamon-sugar topping. All together, they create a bit of magic in your mouth!

Provided by Angela (Grammy) Derby

Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c butter (1 stick)
1 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c fresh blueberries (chopped apples work well too)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350'F.
  • 2. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon onto waxed paper.
  • 3. Melt butter in large saucepan, over low heat. Remove from burner. Beat in brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla, until smooth consistency.
  • 4. Gently fold in blueberries, so as not to crush them.
  • 5. Carefully stir in flour mixture a little at a time. Again, trying not to crush too many blueberries. Mix thoroughly. The batter will be thick.
  • 6. Spread into a greased (I use Pam) 9x13" pan. (I put a little Pam on my fingers and press it into place.) Make a mixture of cinnamon & sugar, and sprinkle over the top.
  • 7. Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely and cut into squares.

DELICIOUS BLUEBERRY SQUARES!



Delicious Blueberry Squares! image

This has to be one of the best recipes for blueberry squares... taken my "Favorite Summertime Recipes" folder! You may use all blueberries, and the larger amount of cornstarch, if you prefer a more "gelatinous" filling, rather than a bit loose. If you follow directions carefully, you will have the most fantastic blueberry squares... I promise! Don't forget, chill for 30 minutes before baking! Please, do the crust only in the processor otherwise it will not have good results! Prep time includes chilling time of 30 minutes. Even better...use 2 cups blueberries with 1 cup raspberries if desired!
