Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour , spooned and leveled
1 & 1/2 cups granulated sugar , divided
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup cold butter , cut into cubes
1 large egg , beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 cups raspberries (see note)
2 cups blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper with a slight overhang on the 2 longer sides.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter with a fork or pastry blender (or your hands) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then stir in the egg and vanilla with a fork (dough should remain crumbly.)
Press half the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Wipe out the bowl used for the dough. Add in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cornstarch, stir to combine. Dump in the berries and toss to coat.
Spoon the berries over the crumb mixture in the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture (making sure some of the berries still peak through).
Bake 40 to 45 minutes until golden and the filling is bubbly. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen berries. I love the combo of raspberries and blueberries but feel free to use whatever berries you prefer.
