Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. light butter
2 tbsp. ice water
4 large egg whites
1 large egg
1/2 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 c. granulated sugar
1 tbsp. whole wheat flour

Steps:

  • To make crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-by-8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the excess to hang over the sides. Coat with nonstick spray. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter with a fork until a course meal forms. Sprinkle with the ice water and mix just until the dough forms a ball. Gather the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. When the dough has chilled, press in an even layer into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, until the crust is firm to the touch. To make the filling, in a mixing bowl combine the egg whites, egg, lemon juice, and zest. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat on medium speed until well combined. Sprinkle in the sugar and flour. Continue to beat until smooth and thick. Pour the lemon filling evenly over the hot crust and smooth the surface with a rubber spatula. Bake for 20 minutes, until firm and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Let the lemon bars cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour. Cut into bars and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

More about "lighter lemon bars recipes"

LIGHTER LEMON BARS | RECIPES | WW USA - WEIGHT WATCHERS
These well-loved bars get a makeover in this lightened version that’s still packed with the quintessential lemon flavor. You’ll need four lemons to yield enough zest and juice, which is used in both the crust and the filling. One of the ways we lightened this recipe was incorporating beaten egg whites into the filling, which lightens the texture. The whites are beaten to soft peas, which means when you turn the whisk upside down, the peaks are just starting to hold their shape. They’re soft and the peaks fall rather quickly. We’ve paired these with fresh raspberries, but fresh blueberries or blackberries would also be delicious.
