How to Make Lemon Blueberry Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch metal baking pan with foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides.
  2. Spray the foil-lined pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup shredded coconut, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Transfer 2 cups of the crumb mixture to a separate bowl and set aside for the topping.
  6. Beat 1 large egg white into the remaining crumb mixture. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.
  7. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  8. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, ¼ cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 large egg yolk.
  9. Let the lemon mixture stand for 5 minutes.
  10. Evenly sprinkle 2 cups fresh blueberries over the hot crust.
  11. Pour the lemon mixture over the blueberries and spread gently with a spatula.
  12. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the lemon mixture is set and slightly shiny.
  13. Sprinkle the reserved crumble topping evenly over the lemon-blueberry layer, gently pressing it into the filling.
  14. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  15. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the foil overhang.
  16. Cut into 24 bars and serve.
