• 1-1/2 teaspoons fat-free egg substitute

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Place the almonds and sugar in a food processor and process until the almonds are finely ground. Add the graham cracker crumbs and sugar substitute and process to mix well.
3. Add the margarine or butter and the egg substitute and process, pulsing for a few seconds at a time, until the mixture is moistened.
