Lemon Blueberry Crumb Bars

I still have tons of blueberries my deep freeze.  I was looking for a recipe that was different than a pie or muffin.  This one was very easy and was so good too.  I actually made it to take with us to the drive in movies on Friday night.

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour (I use whole wheat flour)
1 cup unsalted butter (cold butter, use straight from the fridge)
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
zest of 2 lemons (you can also use orange zest instead of lemon zest)

4 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup of sugar
3 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions:

1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  9x13 pan and spray with nonstick cooking spray
2) In a medium bowl, stir together sugar, flour, salt, lemon zest and baking powder.
3) In a small bowl, whisk the egg and vanilla together until combined.
4) Use pastry cutter or food processor to blend the flour mixture with the butter and egg/vanilla mixture.  (I just used my hand held mixer) Dough will be crumbly.  Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan.
5) In another bowl, stir together 1/2 cup sugar and 3 tsp of cornstarch.  Gently mix in the blueberries.  (I put the sugar/cornstarch/blueberries in a gallon plastic bag as this is how my blueberries were frozen)  Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust.  Crumble the remaining dough over the berry layer.
6) Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown.  Cool completely before cutting squares.
