easy lemon bars

Easy lemon bars have a sweetness that will delight you minus the heavy, bloated feeling because they’re so light!

When you’re trying to eat more healthy, it’s critical not to feel deprived. These bars are a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth without going off the rails!

These lemon bars have a creamy, lemony-sweet filling that will remind you of a cold glass of lemonade. This is topped on a cinnamon, honey crust.

how to make easy lemon bars

lemon bar crust

For the crust I used an organic bran cereal with flax and fiber rich grains. I used Nature’s path but the brand doesn’t matter too much. Next I added some butter, honey and cinnamon for a little extra flavor.

If you like graham cracker crust, use the crust recipe from my healthy key lime bars!

lemon bar filling

The filling is a combination of greek yogurt and cream light cream cheese with  eggs, Serve confectioners sweetener (which I absolutely LOVE), lemon and vanilla. Easy breezy!

how to store easy lemon bars

Since these bars have cream cheese and yogurt in them, they should be refrigerated. However, they are fine to keep out at room temperature for a couple of hours prior to serving. 

how to serve easy lemon bars

When you cut the bars, wipe the knife blade with a paper towel after each cut so it’s cleaner. 

I like to dust Swerve confectioners over the bars prior to serving.
