Capsaicin Free Blueberry Lemon Bars with Almond Flour Crust

Bright, tangy, and bursting with fresh fruit, these lemon bars deliver a dessert experience that feels genuinely special without a single ingredient that could trigger capsaicin sensitivity. So many store-bought treats and even homemade bar recipes sneak in unexpected spice blends or flavored extracts, but everything here is straightforward and easy to verify. The crust comes together with almond flour, coconut oil, honey, and a pinch of sea salt — pressed into the pan and baked until golden for a nutty, slightly crisp base that holds up beautifully under the silky filling. Fresh lemon juice and zest give the custard layer its bold citrus punch, while arrowroot starch sets it into that perfectly sliceable, smooth texture you want in a bar. Scattered blueberries swirl into the filling as it bakes, adding little pockets of jammy sweetness that balance the tartness in every bite. The hardest part is honestly waiting for them to chill in the refrigerator before cutting — but that patience pays off with clean, gorgeous slices that look like they came from a bakery case.
