I love my mum\’s lemon bars, but I hate the amount of calories and Weight Watchers Points that come along with them. So while I have been home my mum and I revamped her traditional lemon bars into ones you don\’t have to feel bad about eating. Of course I had to share the recipe with you!
Skinny Lemon Bars
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter; color – cut into small pieces
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup fresh lemon juice; I just used an organic bottle from Costco
3 teaspoons lemon zest

Directions 
• Preheat over to 325 degrees.
• To make the crust: mix flour and brown sugar until fully incorporated. Add the cold pieces of butter into the flour mixture and use a pastry blender to mix together the dough should appear lumpy. Sprinkle crust into a 13×9 glass dish; press down with a spatula to create a packed surface. Bake until golden; about 20 minutes.

• Lemon topping: beat eggs in a medium bowl until well blended. Add vanilla and powdered sugar; mixing until the powdered sugar is completely dissolved. Then add the lemon zest. .
• As soon as the crust is finished, remove it from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees, and immediately pour lemon mixture over the hot crust.
• Bake for about 30 minutes allow to cool. You\’ll want to keep this in the refrigerator.

Yields: 24 bars at 3 weight watchers + pts.
