Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
  • 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest ((one lemon))
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice (fresh (one lemon))
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus more for topping if desired)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350F with rack in the middle position.
  • Line a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with foil. Spray the foil with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk the brown sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a large bowl.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until combined. Add the blueberries and stir to incorporate.
  • Scoop the dough out of the bowl and into the prepared baking dish. Press into the bottom of the dish to reach all corners. Add some additional blueberries across the top if desired.
  • Bake until cooked through, when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs, approximately 25 minutes.
  • Add some additional lemon zest to the top of the bars if desired.
  • Cut the bars into your desired size. They can be stored in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
