HEALTHY LEMON BARS RECIPE
(Makes 9 bars)
Ingredients:
FOR CRUST:
1 cup ground oats (or oat flour) (100g)
1/4 cup honey (85g)
1/4 cup coconut oil (50g)
FOR FILLING:
5 large eggs
1/2 cup honey (170g)
1/2 cup lemon juice (120ml)
1 tbsp lemon zest
1/3 cup ground oats (or oat flour) (35g)

NUTRITIONAL INFO (per bar):
230 calories, fat 9.5g, carb 33.1g, protein 5g

Preparation:
For the crust: in the bowl, combine the ground oats, softened coconut oil and honey. Mix with the fork until the dough just comes together.

In a lined 8 by 8 inch (20 by 20 cm) baking pan spread the oat mixture, pressing with the fingers around the corners.

Bake at 350F (180C) degrees for 10 minutes. Let it cool until you make the lemon filling.

For the filling: in another bowl, beat your eggs, then add the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest and ground oats. Mix until well combined.

Pour the egg mixture over the oatmeal crust and bake at 350F (180C) degrees for 20-25 minutes, until set but still soft when gently touched.

Let it cool for 1 hour at room temperature, then place the baking pan into the fridge for 3-4 hours.

Cut in 9 equal squares (or 16 if you want smaller pieces).

Dust with the powdered sweetener, if you wish.

Enjoy!

I have done this recipe at least 6-7 times now and I love it. Here are my personal tips:
- For the crust, I always double the measurements but I keep the original quantities for the filling. I prefer it this way, because the base is more solid and the bars are more satiating/filling.
- It is extremely important to press the edges enough with your fingers, otherwise the filling will pour down on the sides of the base and you don't want that :)

For those who are saying ‘oats again’. For those of us who can’t eat wheat these recipes are fabulous. I love it. Thank you thank you thank you. Keep them coming!!!

I'd just like to add that I made this recipe but instead of 5 eggs, I added only 2. And still it works! It was great, delicious and less calorie dense.
So there you go, if you're watching your weight, you can alternate the recipe a little bit and still get this tasty desert.
I usually pack it for a breakfast at work and all my colleagues loved it as well!

On another video, I saw someone say, "oats again." Now, I understand, this chef is a master of oats.

Man with only one recipe, you got me. I'm in.

This is seriously one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted. They were INCREDIBLE! I was addicted and it took serious will power to not to devour many bars at once. The recipe worked perfectly too. I will NEVER make another lemon bar/lemon tart recipe. Thank you so much! 😍

Just made this recipe and am waiting for it to bake up!!

For anyone interested in Calorie count its about 134 cals per serving (if you cut into 16 pieces) I used calorie free sweetner (monkfruit sweetner but you can use xylitol too) which makes it 84 cals per serving

super excited to try them because lemon flavoured desserts are my fav 😍

[myhellocuteness]

Just made these and they were absolutely delicious! Super easy and cooked up perfectly. I’ve been wanting lemon bars for a while but couldn’t find a recipe that had the ingredients I wanted. Also great how you put the grams and cup measurements! Love the use of natural and healthy ingredients! Thank you!

This is my 3rd time making this recipe in a month. Safe to say they are scrumptious

[maiaruby]

The 1st time I made these I didn't add the oats to the filling added midway through in the oven and they still turned out fantastic. This is a full proof recipe that is absolutely delicious and absolutely healthy

[cakeyhog]

It's so refreshing having a youtuber that doesn't beg for subscribers, you're smashing it man keep up the tasty treats

[Sabodevenus]

I have just made them and tasted it, OMG! it is so delicious! I'll make it again for sure. I just reduced the quantity of sugar to 60 g and it is perfect! Thanks a lot for sharing!

I really like the fact that you also write the amounts in ml and grams. Sometimes I find good looking recipes online but never get to try them because I don't even know what in the hell a "cup" is supposed to be. I'll definitely give this one a try, thank you.

[Viridyan]

Tried this recipe! It was awesome. I subbed apple sauce for coconut oil and it turned out wonderfully. Thank you for this!

[krimke]

You took on a great task. People have forgot what baking is all about. Why does everyone always use the finest whete flower and tons of refined sugar. Thanks for this! :D

[anrec]

I was skeptical at first but I took a leap of faith after reading the comments and thank god I did, these are the best lemon bars I've ever had. Thank you so much for the recipe! Bless your soul 💞

[admmerpoczta]

I've just done it! It was my first ever baking I've done and it's great! Not too sweet, tastes delicious! 💛💛💛
