Low Calorie Lemon Bars

These Low Calorie Lemon Bars are just 95 calories! They are just as good as the traditional recipe, but for a fraction of the calories.

I used my favorite all-natural zero calorie sugar (both granulated and powdered versions) and I included a link below so you can check them out. But you can use regular granulated sugar and powdered sugar if you prefer.

Special Tip: You can cut the calories and carbs more by cutting the crust in 1/2. Just use 1/2 of the ingredients and pack it in a very thin layer. You'll also want to cut the bake time on the crust to just 8 minutes.

Ingredients

Low Calorie Lemon Bar Crust:

1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free oat flour)
⅓ cup cold butter cut into small cubes
¼ cup Zero Calorie All-Natural Sugar (or pure cane sugar)
⅛ teaspoon salt
Olive Oil spray

Low Calorie Lemon Bar Filling:

4 eggs
1 cup Zero-Calorie All-Natural Sugar
⅔ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons lemon zest
¼ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free oat flour)
2 tablespoons Zero Calorie All-Natural Powdered Sugar (or regular powdered sugar)

Instructions

Crust Directions:

Preheat oven to 350° degrees and spray an 8x8 glass baking dish with olive oil.
To a food processor, add the crust ingredients and pulse together for about 30 seconds. Until the mixture balls up in your hand when grabbed.
Add the crust mixture to the prepared baking dish, and press in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
Poke the crust all over with a fork to vent.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown. Then remove from the oven and cool while you make the filling.

Filling Directions:

To a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and flour.
Whisk until combined, then pour over the crust, and spread in an even layer.
Bake for 35 minutes, until the filling is gelled and is cooked through.
Rest for 2 hours on the counter at room temperature, then another 1-2 hours in the fridge.
Dust with powdered sugar and slice into 16 bars.
Serve chilled.
