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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and the egg, and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Step 6
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Step 7
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
If desired, dust the bars with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
