Blueberry White Chocolate Slices


There was no way around it, I just had to mix blueberries into some baked goods before blueberry season is over.

Also, my local supermarket sells them for 60cents at the moment. Sixty. Cents. Blueberries. So I basically  had no choice...

These slices are pure sugary buttery goodness. With a couple of blueberries thrown in. See...there's fruit in it, so it basically counts as one of your 5 a day. And the only logical conclusion is that you will have to eat 5 slices in order to keep a balanced diet. True story.

Blueberry White Chocolate Slices (fills a 9x9 inch pan)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

For the crumb:
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar


Mix together butter sugar and flour to form a smooth dough that's not too sticky. Press it evenly into a greased pan.
Sprinkle the blueberries and white chocolate chips over the base.
For the crumb topping mix all the ingredients together until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Bake at 175C for at least 25 minutes or until the crumb topping is just starting to get brown.


Ps. The boyfriend loved these slices. Even though he generally detests fruit in baked goods and he has never had blueberries before (I know right....I pity him too) he is now a self-confessed blueberry fan. Success!

  1. Not sure if it's too late but did you know you good freeze fresh blueberries? I buy bunches while they are cheap rinse and dry them completely and then bag them in one cup increments. Then in the freezer they go!
