Ingredients

  • 3 sticks butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup almond flour or very finely ground almonds
  • 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups blackberry jam, seedless
  • - powdered sugar

How To Make blackberry bars

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugars; beat until creamy. Add the vanilla and salt and beat until well combined.
  • Step 2
    Add the almond flour and the all-purpose flour into the butter mixture on low speed and beat just until a smooth dough forms.
  • Step 3
    Divide the dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Press the other half into the bottom of a lightly sprayed 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Step 4
    Bake the crust in a preheated 325-degree oven about 20 minutes or until it is just beginning to brown around the edges. Remove from oven.
  • Step 5
    Place the blackberry jam in a bowl and stir well until it is very smooth. Spread the jam evenly over the partially baked crust. Crumble the refrigerated dough over the jam to form a crumbled topping.
  • Step 6
    Return the pan to the oven and continue baking about 30 minutes, until the topping is firm and golden crisp. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar before cutting into bars.
