Healthy Lemon Bars Recipe

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Add crust ingredients to food processor and pulse together for about 30 seconds, until mixture holds together when pressed.
3. Press crust into a square 8×8-inch glass baking dish that’s sprayed with cooking spray. (A metal dish may leave a metallic flavor with lemon bars.) Poke all over surface of crust with a fork to aerate.
4. Bake for 14-17 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
5. Squeeze lemons to get ⅔ cup juice.
6. Combine all filling ingredients, whisking to integrate thoroughly. Pour on top of your slightly cooled crust.
7. Return to the oven for 35 minutes, until the filling has gelled and is cooked through.
8. Allow to cool completely—rest 2 hours on the counter at room temperature, then another 1-2 hours in the fridge.
9. Dust with powdered sugar and slice into bars. Best served chilled!
10. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
