Craving something decadent? These fresh lemon bars are easy to make and the perfect balance of citrus and sweet. Everyone will love them!
There’s nothing like a sweet & tart lemon dessert during the dreary winter months! One of my family’s very favorite things about January here in Florida is picking fresh lemons off our little lemon tree. This wonderful tradition has created a number of delicious treats including the best lemon bar recipe ever!
We’re usually able to squeeze and freeze enough juice for our family to drink homemade lemonade all year round! While it’s hard to beat fresh-squeezed lemonade, these fresh lemon bars come pretty darn close. It’s a perfect pick-me-up when you need to bring a little bit of summer flavor indoors during winter.
This oh-easy-recipe comes together in about an hour and tastes like delicious fresh sunshine!
Step 1: Juice lemons; set juice aside. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Step 2: Grease 9″x13″ baking dish; set aside. Place cubed butter, 2 cups flour, brown sugar, powdered sugar and salt in food processor and pulse until dough forms.
Step 3: Press dough into baking dish so that it comes up about ½ inch on the sides. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Step 4: Remove crust from oven; let cool on wire rack.
Step 5: While crust is cooling, make filling. Whisk together eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and flour.
Step 6: Pour filling mixture over top of the crust. Bake 30-35 minutes longer.
Step 7: Remove from heat; let bars cool completely. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar, then slice and serve.
These refreshing lemon bars will make any meal feel like a special event.

I love Lemon Meringue Pie....but can't figure out how to get the filling firm and not runny! (NOT the refrigerator type. Baked Lemon Meringue Pie made with lemon custard.)
These look so good! Can't wait to try these out!
These lemon bars look amazing. I love lemon anything, and the fresher the better. Thanks for the post. I just found this blog and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Delicious. Perfect timing. Just got a whole bag of organic lemons from Azure Standard. Pinned!
Yum! I love all things lemon! You are so lucky to have a lemon tree in your backyard!
