Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Butter (Use dairy-free/vegan butter for a non-dairy version)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar (Organic cane sugar, coconut sugar, or monkfruit can be healthier alternatives)
  • 1 1/2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (Cloud9 gluten-free flour is ideal)
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch (Arrowroot powder is a great alternative)
  • 2 cups Blueberries (Fresh or frozen blueberries work well)
  • 1 large Lemon (Use fresh lemons for zest and juice)
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free flour and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until the mixture resembles a crumbly dough.
  4. Transfer the crust mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it evenly across the bottom.
  5. Pre-bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until slightly golden around the edges.
  6. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of blueberries, zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until bubbly.
  7. Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and crumble the remaining crust mixture on top.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  9. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before slicing.
