INGREDIENTS
40g Rolled Oats
1 large egg white (for crust)
170g Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1 tsp Cornstarch
4 large egg whites (for meringue)
Pinch Cream of Tartar
Stevia to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the crust by blending the rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground. In a small bowl, mix the oat flour with 1 egg white until a cohesive dough forms. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a small pie pan or baking dish.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until it’s lightly set. Remove from the oven and set aside.
For the filling, in a saucepan, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Gently warm the mixture over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly. Taste and add stevia if additional sweetness is desired. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Pour the lemon filling over the pre-baked crust, smoothing the top evenly.
Prepare the meringue topping by placing 4 egg whites and a pinch of cream of tartar in a clean, dry bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Continue beating and gradually add stevia to taste until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Spread the meringue evenly over the lemon filling, ensuring the meringue touches the edges of the crust to seal in the filling.
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the meringue gets a light golden color on top.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool to room temperature before serving. Enjoy a slice that balances tart citrus with light, airy sweetness!
