… and in constant need for snacks for a growing Gigi, I researched a few recipes and came up with lemon squares.
These treats are not your traditional lemon squares – more like a lemon cake made with lemon juice and yogurt. Itโs a very simple recipe – takes about five minutes to put together and another 15 minutes to bake. Then, you’ll have some healthy snacks for the family to enjoy!
You need:
one cup of flour
half a cup of sugar
a quarter teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
two eggs
1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt (basically one small container)
3 tablespoons of oil
๐
the zest of two lemons and their juice
Directions:
Put everything in a bowl. Mix well.
Pour into a parchment lined 9 x 9 pan:

Bake for 350ยฐ for about 20 minutes, depending on your oven. Cool for five or 10 minutes …

… and cut into squares and serve.

You can make a glaze, if you like, of 1/3 cup confectioners sugar mixed with a little lemon juice and a tablespoon of milk. But theyโre delicious plain! โฅ๏ธ
