The taste of summer is in these Lemon Curd Berry Bars; fresh and delicious, but also healthier than the average dessert bar. I used mainly wild blueberries with a few raspberries. You can use either a mix of berries or just blueberries. Berries are a part of my “Super Food” list because of their high anti-oxidants and nutritional value. Blueberries are high in Vitamin C, K, and Manganese. Bon Appétit!

For the crust…2nd ingredient is not clear whether we use 2 tblsp of coconut flour or 2 cups of Coconut flour. Please clarify. This sounds yummy. Thank you!
Sorry about that Tashina. It should be 2 TBSP. We have corrected that on the recipe. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Enjoy!
Is there a substitute for coconut oil? And still waiting to see an answer to the lemon juice question. Thanks!
Hi Karen! You could certainly use grapeseed oil as a replacement! What is your question on lemon juice?
Please verify how much lemon juice to use. Is it a half of a cup?
Yes, that is correct. It may take about 2-3 lemons to get half of a cup.
