Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 0.3 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (cold and cubed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking dish, ensuring it is well-coated to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 0.5 cups of softened unsalted butter and 0.75 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 0.5 cups of whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in 2 cups of blueberries, being careful not to crush them. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cups of light brown sugar, 0.3 cups of flour, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 0.25 cups of cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.

Step 9

Bake the buckle in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the buckle to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
