Fluffy Lemon Squares

Ingredients:
Crust
1 1/2 cups Fiber One Original bran cereal
1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread
4 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda or Truvia) or 2 1/2 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)

Filling
1 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1 2/3 cups Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
6 tbsp. whole-wheat flour
6 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 - 3 lemons' worth)
2 tbsp. lemon zest
2 tsp. baking powder

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To make the crust, in a blender or food processor, grind cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine butter with 2 tablespoons water. Microwave until just melted. Transfer to the medium bowl. Add sweetener and mix thoroughly.

Spray an 8" X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray. Evenly distribute crust mixture, using your hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients and mix well. Pour mixture over the crust in the pan.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool and cut into nine squares.
