Thank you Brawny® Tear-A-Square® for sponsoring this post. Think of all the ways you can Put a Square There!

Do you love a delicious, soft, and crumbly dessert, but hate the mess? Today I’m sharing a recipe for my family’s favorite Blueberry Lemon Crumb Bars, which are ooey-gooey goodness, but a little messy when you’re feasting on them! They are perfect to wrap up in new Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels that have quarter sheet sizes, so you can use just what you need without the waste. This is perfect for snacking at a park, or in your own backyard while enjoying the nice weather and a good book.

 

 

Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels give you the strength of Brawny® with the flexibility to only use what you need with three different sheet size options (full, half, and quarter). This makes my life as a mom so convenient when I’m quickly dishing out snacks to my family or guests and I don’t want to have extra waste.

 

 

The full sheet is perfect for complete clean up, the half sheet is perfect as lap napkins or wiping up little spills, and I use the quarter size sheets for setting little desserts on, such as these Blueberry Lemon Crumb bars!

 

 

Look at how easy it is to tear a quarter-sized square off!

 

 

Now let me share with you how to make these easy Blueberry Lemon Crumb Bars:

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated White Sugar
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 1 Stick Butter, Chilled and Cut into Small Pieces
  • 2 Teaspoons Grated Lemon Zest
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Filling:

  • 2 Cups Fresh Blueberries
  • 1/4 Cup Granulated White Sugar
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

Topping/Dusting:

  • 5 Tablespoons butter, at Room Temperature
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (Packed)
  • 3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9×13-inch glass pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Prepare the crust:  In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, lemon zest, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and vanilla together; stir into the crumb mixture until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly. (Keep the oven on)
  3. Sprinkle blueberries over the crust. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over the blueberries.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, use a spatula to cream together the 5 tablespoons butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, so that the mixture is crumbly like streusel. Sprinkle over the blueberry layer.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until browned. Cool and then dust with confectioners sugar before cutting into bars.

 

See how perfect the Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels are for crumbly summer desserts, such as these Blueberry Lemon Crumb Bars? Just keep a roll on hand and you’re set when it is time to serve dessert.

 

 

My family enjoys summer desserts, but as a mom I enjoy spending as little time as I need to on set up and clean up. Thanks to Brawny® Tear-A-Square® paper towels, I can spend more time enjoying my family outdoors and less time cleaning up.
