Low Cholesterol Eggless Homemade Lemon Pie With Oatmeal Crust

I decided to search online for an eggless lemon pie recipe. I was pretty disappointed with my results. So being the stubborn person that I am, I decided to create my own homemade lemon pie, and one that would not require eggs.

I started with four recipes and then took a little information from each of these. I then tried substituting a couple of different ingredients, and also the amounts that I put in of them, and after three attempts I came out with what I figured was a pretty good eggless lemon pie.

I tried it, my guy tried it, and my daughter tried it. We all agreed that it came out pretty darn tasty. It had zip and it had zing. The only thing that it did not have was a lot of color? I have heard a lot of nasty information concerning food colorings, so I decided that I wasn't really too worried about a misty looking lemon pie if it tasted good, and was healthy for us.

So this is officially my low cholesterol eggless homemade lemon pie with oatmeal crust recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Lemon Filling:

5 and 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 and 1/4 cups boiling water
1/2 cup one percent milk
1 teaspoon non-hydrogenated, zero trans fat, margarine

This is enough filling for 1 large pie, and just in case you were wondering how much cholesterol there is in corn starch, well it is nice to know that corn starch contains zero cholesterol.

Crust:

1 1/4 cups of non-hydrogenated, zero trans fat, soft margarine
1/2 cup of lightly packed brown sugar
2 1/2 cups of your choice of brown or white flour
3 cups of quick oats
1 cup of old fashioned oats

This crust recipe will make 3 large crusts, so you will have two spare for either other pie fillings, or to pop into the freezer for a later date.

Note: Stay away from the hard margarines. They may be easier to measure out, but they are also loaded with trans fats, and they are those nasty fats that clog up your arteries. Check the nutritional list on the soft margarine that you purchase, and be sure that it is non-hydrogenated, and contains zero transfats.

When making your crust don't worry if you don't quite get your measurements exact. If your dough is a little too sticky then add extra quick oats. If it is a little too dry then add a little more margarine. It will still come out nice and toasty tasty.
