Ingredients

Crumbly Crust/Topping

Lemon Filling

  • 12 oz package of firm silken tofu drained
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • zest of one lemon
  • juice of one lemon

Blueberry Filling

  • 2 cups frozen blueberries or fresh
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 350°F/175°C and line a 9-inch square baking pan (I used an 8x8") with foil. Give that foil a light coating of vegetable spray.
  • In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, powdered sugar, and oatmeal. Pulse until combined. Use a spatula to press down any ingredients on the sides of the container. Pulse again until smooth. Reserve about one cup of this mixture and press the rest of it into your prepared pan, being sure to distribute it evenly across the bottom.
    The crust is pressed into the bottom of a baking dish for lemon bars.
  • Don't bother cleaning out the food processor bowl. Simply add the silken tofu, half cup of sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice into the used food processor bowl. Pulse until combined and smooth. Pour this into the pan over the crust.
  • In a medium-sized bowl add the frozen blueberries. Sprinkle the sugar and cornstarch over the top of the blueberries. Add the lemon juice and gently stir to distribute equally across the blueberries without smashing them. Gently spoon the blueberry mixture over the lemon filling.

  • Sprinkle dollops of the reserved cup of crust batter evenly over the top of the bars.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the crust becomes a golden brown.

  • When done, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool for 1 hour (or more) before slicing. When you're ready, pull the bars out of the pan by lifting both sides of the foil.
