Lemon Bars: Simple, Tangy, and Delicious

Serving Tip: Lemon bars are best served chilled. After they’ve cooled to room temperature, refrigerate them for an hour or so for a refreshing treat.

Storage Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Variations:

Lemon and Berry Bars: Add a layer of fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries to the filling before baking for a fruity twist.

Gluten-Free Lemon Bars: Use a gluten-free flour blend in place of regular flour for both the crust and the filling to make this recipe gluten-free.

FAQ:

Can I use bottled lemon juice? While fresh lemon juice is preferred for the best flavor, bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch.

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! Lemon bars can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge for the best texture and flavor.

Pro Tip: For extra citrusy flavor, you can add a little extra lemon zest into the filling, or top the bars with a dollop of whipped cream before serving. These easy lemon bars are perfect for any occasion!
