These Blueberry Lemon Bars are a delightful combination of sweet and tart flavors, with a buttery crust and fresh blueberries. Perfect for summer picnics or an easy dessert at home. Simple to make, these bars will impress anyone looking for a quick and delicious treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest, optional
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the 2 cups of flour, salt, and powdered sugar.
  2. Cut in the room temperature butter using a fork or pastry blender until crumbly.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
  4. Firmly press the crust mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the crust is light golden brown, then cool it.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk the 4 eggs until well combined, then add the 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of flour, whisking until smooth.
  7. Stir in the 1/4 cup of lemon juice and optional lemon zest, mixing until thoroughly incorporated.
  8. Pour the lemon mixture over the cooled crust, then sprinkle the blueberries evenly on top.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the top is just beginning to turn golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before transferring to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to cool completely.
  11. Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into bars.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding more lemon zest to the filling.
Ensure the blueberries are rinsed and dried before adding them to prevent excess moisture.
These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
