Glazed Lemon-Coconut Bars

Super Egg Substitutes

Egg substitutes provide the protein from eggs but don't contain the cholesterol found in egg yolks. That's good news for your heart.

Health Twist

Combining reduced-fat and fat-free ingredients with small amounts of regular ingredients (butter and coconut) results in the best of both worlds—tasty treats without guilt!

Delicious!

These lemon bars are great! I halfed the bisquick and added whole wheat flour instead and added some flaxseed meal to make it even more healthy. I increase the coconut to 1/2 a cup because I love it :) and used 3 regular eggs instead of egg product. Also I only drizzled the powdered sugar + lemon topping to reduce the calories b/c the bars are sweet enough by themselves. Fantastic!!!!
