… 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. It’s 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

🍋
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 350° 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 they’re delicious plain! ♥️
