Glazed Lemon-Coconut Bars

Glazed Lemon-Coconut Bars
Recipe Tip
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!

Glazed Lemon-Coconut Bars
This recipe looks wonderful, but I really do not like using packaged baking mixes & prefer to bake from scratch. How would I adapt this recipe? I know the ingredients to use to make the cookie bottom, I just do not know the proportions. Can anyone help me out? ~~ Thanks so much!

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!!!!
