You can see that these Lemon Blueberry Streusel Bars stack nicely on a display platter. They’re going to be one of those desserts that disappears rather quickly as soon as you set them out for guests. Everyone loves chocolate, but the combination of lemon and blueberry is pretty irresistible too. I need to give you an idea of what these bars are like. Picture a delicious crumb crust on both the top and bottom of the bars. The middle is this incredible lemon filling with the fresh blueberries baked in. Bite into these bars and get all of that!
How to Make Lemon Blueberry Streusel Bars:
There are a few steps involved in making these lemon blueberry streusel bars, but the time spent making them is well worth the end result. You’ll begin by making an oat crumb crust. That’ll get pressed into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan, setting some of the crumbs aside to create a topping for the bars too. While the crust is baking, you’ll whip up the most fabulous, sweet lemon filling mixture. That gets drizzled onto the baked crust with plenty of blueberries sprinkled on top of the lemon layer too. The reserved crumbs are sprinkled on top, and it goes back into the oven. This recipe turns out 24 Lemon Blueberry Streusel Bars. I like to chill them for a while so they’re easier to cut cleanly.
These bars are sturdy enough to be a hand-held dessert. Because of their crumby nature, they will be a little messy with crumbs falling to and fro while eating… so I suggest you have napkins or small plates nearby. To make them pretty on a platter, scatter some fresh blueberries around and maybe display a lemon or two. This gives everyone a hint as to what’s in these bars so you don’t have to explain yourself over and over again. Of course, you could always make a cute little sign telling everyone that these are Lemon Blueberry Streusel Bars too!
