Bright, tangy, and bursting with fresh blueberries, these lemon bars are the kind of dessert that disappears fast at any gathering. The crust comes together with almond flour, coconut oil, and a touch of honey — no grains, no rice flour, no starchy fillers that can sneak into so many gluten-free baking blends. Arrowroot starch does the thickening work in the silky lemon filling, keeping everything clean and simple while still delivering that perfectly set, sliceable texture you want in a bar. Fresh lemon juice and zest give the filling a punchy citrus backbone, and the swirled blueberries add little pockets of jammy sweetness in every bite. The process is straightforward — press, bake, pour, bake again, then chill — and the parchment sling makes lifting and slicing a breeze. Patience during the refrigerator rest is the only real trick here; once fully cold, these bars slice cleanly and hold their shape beautifully. They're the kind of treat that looks far more impressive than the effort involved.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides to use as handles for lifting.
In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, melted coconut oil, 2 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp salt until the mixture resembles damp, clumping sand. Press it firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan — use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to compact it into a uniform layer.
