- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh blackberries

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×13 inch baking dish gently.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
- Cut in 1 cup of softened unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
- Press half of this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of your baking dish.

- Spread the blackberry mixture over the prepared crust.
- Crumble the remaining crumb mixture over the blackberry filling.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the blackberry juices bubble.
- Allow to cool in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
Consider adding oats to the crumb mixture for extra texture. These bars can be served warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
