A serving of the original recipe has 240 calories and 10g fat! I cut the calories in half by using high-fiber bran cereal, fat-free liquid egg substitute, no-calorie sweetener & light whipped butter!
- Crust
- 1 1/2 cups high-fiber bran cereal twigs
- 1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread
- 2 1/2 tbsp. granulated no-calorie sweetener
- Filling
- 1 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
- 1 2/3 cups granulated no-calorie sweetener
- 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
- 6 tbsp. whole-wheat flour
- 6 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 - 3 lemons' worth)
- 2 tbsp. lemon zest
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- To make the crust, in a blender or food processor, grind cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine butter with 2 tbsp. water. Microwave until just melted. Transfer to the medium bowl. Add sweetener and mix thoroughly.
- Spray an 8" X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray. Evenly distribute crust mixture, using your hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients and mix well. Pour mixture over the crust in the pan.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool and cut into nine squares!
