Description

Make these simple, fresh lemon blueberry bars using a gluten-free flour blend for a satisfying, fruity dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1 cup (227g) salted butter, room temperature (regular or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/3 cup (280g) gluten-free flour 1:1 baking blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 cups (444g) blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan with non-stick baking spray and two pieces of parchment paper placed in a crisscross pattern.
  2. In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, beat the 3/4 cup sugar and lemon zest on high speed for 1 minute.
  3. Add the butter and vanilla. Beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the gluten-free flour and salt. Mix on low speed until a crumbly dough forms.
  5. Place 2/3 of the dough into the prepared pan and press it down evenly. Set the pan aside.
  6. In a small mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Gently toss the mixture.
  7. Spoon the blueberry mixture over the shortbread base, spreading it evenly. Leave any excess liquid in the bowl.
  8. Crumble the remaining dough over the blueberries. Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan.
  10. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  11. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled bars and slice them into squares.
