Love lemon bars? I have a to-die-for recipe that people request I make and now? These Meyer Lemon and Blueberry Bars might make the choice harder.

Meyer Lemon Blueberry Bars Ingredients

I love lemon anything and Meyer lemons add an amazing flavor to recipes, so when Frieda’s sent me a bag of this beautiful citrus, I knew just what they would be used for. Meyer Lemons aren’t as tart as regular lemons and they have a faint scent of thyme.

They are absolutely delicious to work with and I love using them because you can cut down on added sugar and still get that mouthwatering go-back-for-more taste in your mouth. In fact, my mouth is watering for these decadently easy bars right now.

Meyer Lemon Blueberry Bars Before Bake

Lemon blueberry is one of my absolute favorite flavor combinations and a quick scatter of blueberries across this lemon dessert makes it look so gourmet and decadent but keeps it “cooks easy”. I recommend you make some ASAP. If you can’t find Meyer lemons, reach out to Frieda’s and they will see if they can get them into your local grocery store.
