Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1.5 cups blueberries
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.33 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together 0.25 cups of softened unsalted butter and 0.75 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cups of brown sugar, 0.33 cups of flour, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add 0.25 cups of cold butter, cut into small cubes, and mix using a fork or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the blueberry batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the buckle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
