Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spray a 9”x13” baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper; set pan aside.
Using a medium bowl, add melted butter, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar and brown sugar; stir until well combined.
Add eggs and almond extract; stir until well combined.
Remove 1½ cups of this mixture and set aside. Press remaining mixture into prepared pan.
Using a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch. Add blackberries and gently stir until well combined. Spread blackberry mixture in an even layer in the baking pan.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly on top of blackberry layer. (Tip: It’s ok to leave some of the crust in larger chunks here!)
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until crumb topping is light golden brown. Let pan cool completely before slicing into bars.
