Vegan Lemon Bars

Vegan Lemon Bars! These taste delicious and just like old-fashioned lemon bars (you would never know they are vegan)! Click here to see my video on how to make it!

Ingredients:

     crust:

-1 cup flour

-⅓ cup sugar

-1 tbsp vegan butter/margarine

-1 tsp vanilla

-¼ cup water

     filling:

-1 can chickpeas/garbanzo beans (only the liquid)

-2 lemons

  -zest

  -juice

-½ cup sugar

-⅓ cup flour

-1 tsp vanilla

-1 tbsp powdered sugar [optional]

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350* F.

2. Start by draining the liquid from the chickpea can and whisking it in an automatic mixer.

3. Mix together the flour and sugar of the crust. Then cut in with a fork (or pastry cutter) the butter and water. Now add the vanilla once dough-like crumbs begin to form.

4. Place the crust mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish and press down with your hands to form a crust. Poke with a fork all around the dough. Then, bake for 10 minutes.

5. Add all of your filling ingredients (lemon zest & juice, sugar, flour, vanilla) into the frothy chickpea mixture and mix together.

6. Pour filling over the crust. Bake for 20 minutes.

7. Let cool for 5 minutes and then dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
