To check out: Blueberry Crumb Bars

Meryl, these look really good. I just bought 2 pounds of

fresh blueberries, and guess what I'm doing after aerobics tomorrow!!

 
P.S. Here's a great coffee cake with blueberries: Tons Of Blueberry Coffee Cake:

NOTE: I added 1 tsp lemon zest and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the batter, plus I increased the cinnamon and decreased the brown sugar in the topping. (This is also great with cherries).

TONS OF BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup butter (I used unsalted)
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk, plus 2 tablespoons milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups blueberries (I used frozen, unthawed)

Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar (I used 7 Tbsp dark brown sugar)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I used 1 Tbsp)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (I omitted this)
3 tablespoons butter (I used cold, unsalted, cut into small pieces)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375. Grease 9 inch springform pan.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.

In a large bowl (of electric mixer), cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in blueberries. Pour batter into prepared pan.

In a small bowl, combine (first three) topping ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly -- then add nuts. Sprinkle over batter.

Bake for 45 minutes (I baked about 50 - 55 minutes), or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool. (I set the cake on a wire rack for 10 minutes, released the pan sides, then cooled completely on the rack).

From the poster: "I like to remove cake to cake plate and dust with powdered sugar." (I omitted this).

12 servings (I made 10 servings)

Here's the one I have been making: REC: Blueberry Crumb Cake by Dori Greenspan

I have made this twice so far and it is really good. The crumbs are nice and crunchy, even the next day. The recipe in the cookbook suggests to put the cake pan on a baking sheet in the oven. I highly recommend this as mine slightly runith over while cooking.

I have enough blueberries left to make one more cake!

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup milk -- or buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour -- unbleached

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Stir yolks into milk. Sift together the flour, cornmeal and baking powder and stir into the batter in three additions, alternating with the yolks and milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Scatter the blueberries evenly over the batter, and press them in gently. To make the crumbs, mix the flour, sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl. Melt the butter and stir it in. Rub the mixture to coarse crumbs by hand. Scatter the crumbs over the berries as evenly as possible. Bake the cake about 45 to 60 minutes until batter is firm and crumbs are well colored. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack. Cut the cooled cake into twenty four 3-inch squares. Remove the squares from the pan to a platter.
Variations:
APPLE CURRANT CRUMBCAKE SQUARES: Omit cornmeal and increase flour to 2 1/2 cups. Stir 1 cup currants into batter. Spread batter with 6 apples, peeled, cored, diced and cooked in 2 tablespoons butter and 4 tablespoons sugar until limp and cooled. Top with crumbs and bake.
