Sweet & Tart Lemon Blueberry Bars

Ingredients

The crust:

The filling:

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¾ cup honey or sugar

  • 2 tbsp Better Basics Bread Flour or Red Fife All Purpose 

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

  • ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

The topping:

  • Powdered sugar (optional)

  • Extra lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

  3. In a bowl, mix stone-milled flour, melted butter, honey (or sugar), and salt until combined.

  4. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.

  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.

Prepare the Filling

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, honey (or sugar), stone-milled flour, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.

  2. Gently fold in blueberries.

Bake the Bars

  1. Pour the lemon filling over the pre-baked crust.

  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the centre. The top of the bars may turn white and look foamy, this is normal.

  3. Let bars cool completely in the pan before slicing.

  4. Dust with powdered sugar and extra lemon zest for a beautiful finish.

Enjoy. 

These bars are bright, tangy, and perfectly sweet with the wholesome taste of stone-milled flour.
