How to Make Lemon Bars Lite

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) of cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  4. While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup lemon juice. Add 2 large eggs and whisk until well combined.
  5. Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
  6. Let the lemon bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
  7. Enjoy your guilt-free Lemon Bars Lite!
