Cake bars packed with zesty lemon flavor and juicy blueberries in each bite! This is like your moist lemon poppyseed cake with a pop of fruitiness! Such a great summer flavor that you’ll love!
Alright, these are officially my favorite. I love lemon poppyseed cake and baking with blueberries so I thought why not incorporate both together? Honestly, it was the best decision I’ve been this past week. Also, the glaze on top is a must and not optional!
I’ve been using lemon in my baked goods, chia seed jams and baking white fish or lemon garlic flavors. I love citrus flavors because it helps balance out the dish/baked good in many ways!
The texture of these bars were so moist, had the perfect lemon and citrus flavor and were packed with juicy blueberries you would not want to live without. Well, at least for me, haha!
I bake with frozen blueberries often because I rarely get to baking a recipe before my blueberries decide to go bad on me. After buying blueberries. I leave them in the fridge and check up on them once a day, usually in the morning, to see when it’s time for it to go into the freezer! It’s usually 1-3 days before it goes into a freezer friendly bag. I like to throw them into smoothies or into recipes like this 🙂 The bright blue/purple color just makes me SO happy because it’s so beautiful!
I legit took so many photos of these cake bars but I only picked two here because I was obsessed with how good they were! You bet I’ll be making these over and over again 🙂
