There is something about the combination of blueberry and lemons that is wonderful for the taste buds!
We have “healthified” this typical bar recipe with the addition of greek yogurt, white whole wheat flour and honey as a sweetener. As you can see from the picture, this makes for a very moist bar…may we suggest a fork with your square!
Keep them stored in the fridge and they are the perfect cool treat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
