Serving Suggestions

Tips and Tricks
- If your blueberries are large, chop them into smaller pieces before adding to the batter.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- For a more golden color, brush the top of the bars with a beaten egg before baking.
- If you prefer a thicker crust, double the graham cracker crumb mixture.
