PEANUT BUTTER BLACKBERRY BARS



Peanut Butter Blackberry Bars image

The love child of a juicy summer fruit pie and a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, these family-friendly bars are perfect for a backyard picnic or an after-school snack. They're super fast to make with an electric mixer, but you can also make the dough by hand: Just be sure the butter is very soft before you start, and mix with a sturdy wooden spoon or rubber spatula. To make easy work of pressing the dough into the baking dish, use lightly floured hands or the bottom of a flat measuring cup.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pan
1 cup/255 grams natural or processed peanut butter or almond butter
1/2 cup/110 grams packed light or dark brown sugar
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 (10-ounce/285-gram) bag frozen blackberries, raspberries, blueberries or a combination
Flaky salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8- or 9-inch square pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two of the sides.
  • In a large bowl, stir together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat to combine. Add flour, salt and baking powder and stir to combine.
  • Press about two-thirds of the dough into the prepared pan. In a separate bowl, toss berries with remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Scatter berry and sugar mixture over dough, then crumble remaining dough over top, pulling it apart into big crumbs.
  • Bake on the middle rack until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt, if using. Let cool completely before slicing into squares. Store, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

Tips for Making Peanut Butter Bars:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter: The type of peanut butter you use will greatly affect the flavor of your bars. Look for a brand that is made with 100% peanuts and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: The bars should be firm to the touch but still a little soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: The bars will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter bars are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With their rich peanut butter flavor and gooey texture, these bars are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these peanut butter bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
