Low Fat Lemon Bars

My dad has his gallbladder removed a few years ago, so I made some additional adjustments to this recipe when preparing these for this weekend's visit.

I substitued ~1/3 cup of finely minced prunes for the 1/2 cup of butter.

I minced them in the food processor and then pulsed them together with the sugar and the flour.

I also lined the pan with aluminum foil for easier extraction when cooked.

They came out quite tasty. I even reduced the calories from 100 (which isn't bad already) to ~58 per bar.

The only fat left in them is from the one egg yolk which has ~5 g (50 calories).
