Easy Lemon Squares

Lemon Squares are often made with gobs of butter and sugar and well, that’s one reason why they are so good. But, they are really about the lemon. Lemon is, or should be, the star of the show. I am convinced there are ways to lighten things up and still have great flavor with baked goods, desserts, and sweet things – lemon squares included. My Easy Lemon Squares are not any harder to prepare and do not require any special ingredients. There are no boxes or mixes. It’s one bowl and one pan. Bonus. My tasters had no idea it was a healthier version of a lemon bar – and loved it. Read on to learn more!

  1. Kristin S,

    I made this today and it was great! Wonderful lemon flavor. I did use regular ap flour and omitted the cornstarch in the crust like the note says, and it worked well. I did have some trouble getting it out of the cake pan, so I think I’ll make sure I put some parchment paper in the pan next time.

    Can’t wait to try this recipe. Lemon bars are a favorite of mine. I’m so glad chefs are downsizing recipes because we get tired of eating a dish after a day or two. Thanks so much
