Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Butter Provided richness and structure

For the Filling
  • 2 cups Blueberries Both fresh and frozen work well
  • 1 large Lemon Fresh juice and zest preferred

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with dairy-free butter and line it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine dairy-free butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add gluten-free flour and cornstarch until crumbly.
  3. Toss blueberries with lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch in another bowl. Spread mixture evenly over the crust.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread leftover crust mixture over the blueberry layer and bake for about 60 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting. Optionally chill in the freezer for easier slicing.
