Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams (softened) Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Large egg
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Fresh blueberries
- 50 grams Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish, optional) Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
Once cool, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut into 9 equal squares.
If desired, dust the bars with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
