Blueberry Crumble Bars

Ingredients
Crumble:
6 tbsp non-hydrogenated margarine, melted
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
Bar:
⅓ cup non-hydrogenated margarine
1 cup confectioner’s (icing) sugar
2 large eggs
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup non-fat, plain yogurt
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
¾ cup all purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
Preparation
1.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8” square baking pan with parchment paper leaving a slight overhang on the sides. Grease lightly, flour and tap out any excess flour. If blueberries are frozen, thaw.
2.
Crumble: In a medium size bowl, add melted margarine and brown sugar. Beat until combined. Add flour and mix until it forms a crumb. Let cool in refrigerator until ready to use.
3.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat margarine, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in yogurt, lemon juice and zest.
4.
In a small bowl, mix together flour and baking powder; add to wet ingredients and stir just to combine. Do not over mix. Spread batter evenly in baking pan. Sprinkle with blueberries and then topping.
5.
Bake 40 minutes until golden and cooked throughout. Cool in pan, then remove by using sides of parchment paper. Cut into 16 squares. Store in airtight container up to 3 days.

Help?

What is non-hydrogenated margarine....

And... "1 lemon, zest and juice"?  The whole thing??

Sounds good, but skip the icing. I like to taste the blueberries.

Rerun does have a good point, but I'm no chef.
I need a family who likes cooking though, such as AB
