Blueberry & Granola Bars

Ingredients

½ cup Slivered Almonds, finely ground

2 cups All Purpose Flour

¾ cup Confectioner’s Sugar

1 ½ tsp Baking Powder

½ tsp Sea Salt

1 ½ sticks Unsalted Butter, cold and cut into ½” cubes

1 large Egg, plus, one large Egg Yoke

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 ½ Jars Lighthouse Keeper’s Citrus Cinnamon Blueberry Jam

2 cups Granola

Vanilla Ice Cream, for serving

Instructions:

Line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment and coat with cooking spray.

In the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, add ground almonds, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix until well combined.

Add butter, eggs and vanilla and mix until just combined.

Using the palm of your hand, spread the dough evenly in the prepared baking pan and refrigerate the dough for about 30 mins.

Preheat oven to 350F. Prick the dough with a fork and bake for 25 min. Remove from oven, allow the base to cool, then spread the blueberry jam evenly. Top with granola and baked for an additional 30 mins. Allow the bars to fully cool before cutting into 2” squares.

Serve with vanilla ice cream.
