Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 unit Egg, large
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Blueberries, fresh or frozen
• 1.5 cups Nectarines, diced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cold (for streusel)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Step 3

Using a hand or stand mixer, cream 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Add 1 large egg and beat until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in 3 parts, alternating with 0.75 cup of whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined, then mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gently fold in the 1.5 cups of blueberries and 1.5 cups of diced nectarines to evenly distribute the fruit throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cup of flour, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 0.25 cup of cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter in the baking dish.

Step 9

Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the buckle to cool for 15–20 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
