    The Best Lemon Blueberry Bars Recipe Ever!

    Best Lemon Blueberry Bars Ever

    If you are looking for the best blueberry lemon bars recipe ever - then you have come to the right place! I made these the other day and I had to end up giving most of them away to resist the temptation to eat the entire pan myself!

    I love lemon.  I love everything about lemons.  I love the taste of lemons.  I love the smell of lemons when I am cooking - I love the smell of lemon rinds being ground up in the garbage disposal.  I even love everything that you can do with lemon essential oils.

    These cherry pie bars will look (and taste) great on the dessert table next to your lemon blueberry bars!

    And then there are blueberries....chock-full of sweetness and antioxidents, they are the perfect counterbalance to the wonderful sourness of the lemons. Mmmmm....blueberries!

    Ok - I may need a moment. (tick tock, tick tock).  Alrighty...moment over!

    With summer here, these 2 of my favorite fruits are at their peak of flavor and incredibly cheap.  I just love making lemon bars and my mother has a great recipe for them that is just so stinkin' easy....so I just added some blueberries to her recipe and they turned out fabulous! My mother usually dusts the top of her lemon bars with some powdered sugar but I found that, with the addition of the blueberries, this lemon blueberry bars recipe doesn't need any powdered sugar.  They have enough sweetness all on their own!

    To make these Lemon Blueberry Bars, you will need:

    For the crust:

    • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    • 8 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 3 tsp lemon zest

    For the filling:

    • 2 large egg yolks
    • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
    • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6-7 medium lemons, juiced)
    • 1 tsp lemon zest
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries
