 to my channel and welcome if you're new here spring has sprung it is 67 degrees today so I was feeling like a yummy spring dessert I wanted it to be not only clean eating but also WW friendly and what screams spring more than lemon so I am making a WW friendly clean eating a lemon bar these are phenomenal seriously these are so incredibly delicious you can have one every day because they fit well within your smart points so if you want to see this little fun spring baking video stay tuned for today's spring baking recipe we're gonna be doing a healthy lemon bar both my husband and I love lemon bars so I cannot wait to make these so let me show you what's in today's recipe you're going to need some flour of your choice you could use all-purpose whole wheat I opted for the organic oat flour from the Thrive Market I will have Thrive linked down below for you guys you know I love it so much it's a great online resource for organic good whole foods they have food household baby pet you name it there's even a link down below for $20 worth of free product when you join the Thrive Market so you're gonna see a lot of products from Thrive in today's videos and in most of my videos so this oat flour comes from there also from Thrive I have this organic coconut flour coconut oil maple syrup eggs salt honey and a big lemon so let's get started on today's dessert so the first thing we need to do is put together the crust of our lemon bars so I have three quarters of a cup of my flour and again I'm using oat flour but you could use really whatever flour you want to use we also have one third of a cup of coconut oil so add that one quarter cup of maple syrup and then we want about a fourth of a teaspoon of salt so I just have some pink Himalayan salt here so we're gonna go ahead and add that give this a stir you want to make sure everything gets combined really really well you want it to form a wet dough kind of like you would if you were making cookies a similar to a cookie dough and then we'll get this ready to go into our baking pan and into the oven go ahead and grab out an 8 by 8 pan and a piece of parchment paper we're gonna go ahead and take the crust mix and put it into the bottom of our baking dish and then we're actually going to use our hands to spread this out nice and even in the bottom and this is going to go in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes we want the crust to pre-cook so when we make our lemon it stays on top like a traditional lemon bar instead of soaking into the crust so we want to give our crust a little bit of a bake before we add in the lemon so our crust is ready to go into the oven 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes while our crust is in the oven we're gonna go ahead and put together our filling so first I have six eggs that I went ahead and just cracked separately you know me and shells so I always crack my eggs separately we also have one half of a cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice and one third of a cup of honey this is the raw honey from Trader Joe so it's nice and thick compared to traditional honey so make sure we get all that out of there we're also going to add the zest of our large lemon it wants about four teaspoons of lemon zest which is pretty close to what that large lemon did and then I have four teaspoons of coconut flour and last but not least just a pinch of salt give this a good whisk you want this nice and combine do be aware that it is going to be runny and don't panic if your lemon curd is pretty runny because it is supposed to be that way I made sure I read that part in the instruction so I didn't panic myself so give that a good mix until everything is nice and combine all right the crust is out of the oven we're gonna let this cool for just a couple of minutes and then we'll go ahead and add on the lemon portion of our bars and get this back into the oven all right and the last step is the lemon right on top of the crust and then this is going to go back into the oven for 30 additional minutes and then we're gonna let it cool completely before we cut our bars but oh my gosh this looks so good my bars may not be perfectly square but you know this is my first time doing this recipe so we're gonna go with it so this is going back in the oven all right I just pulled the lemon bars out these look so good they do need to cool completely before we cut them we are going to add a little bit of monk fruit powdered sugar to make them all the things like real lemon bars so as soon as these cool we'll get these cut and I'll be back to show you our completed dessert and give you the smart points all right so here are the lemon bars go ahead and cut them into 16 servings I have some more sitting over here but these are the completed lemon bars these look so good you guys they have that nice thick kind of graham crackery crust the lemon on top I just dusted them with some of the monk fruit powdered sugar for zero points so you can have one bar for five smart points on both the blue and purple plan and six smart points on the green plan so not bad for a lemon bar and boy these look delicious thank you for joining me on today spring baking video I hope you enjoyed
