Lemon Squares
These are light, cakey and moist. Almost like a lemon coffee cake. And so easy to make. I usually have one with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Or as an afternoon snack with some tea and fruit.
Recipe makes 18 squares. Serving size is 1 square.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup Bisquick (Heart Smart version in the white box)
- 1 cup skim milk
- 3/4 cup non-fat greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- juice of 1/2 lemon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350
Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray
Mix skim milk, yogurt, sugar, eggs, extracts in a bowl using a hand-held electric mixer (low speed about 1 minute)
Add the Bisquick to the liquid mixture, and mix with a spoon to combine
Pour the batter into the baking pan
Bake 25 minutes
Allow the cake to cool 1 hour
Cut into 18 squares
Remove squares and place them on a sheet of parchment paper. Note: I flipped them upside down (bottom side up) since the bottom side has better color.
Mix the glaze ingredients together
Spoon just a small drizzle of the glaze throughout the 18 squares over the parchment paper
Transfer the squares to a serving dish.
Alternatively, once the glaze is set, you can freeze the squares in a ziplock bag for future meals.
