In a large bowl cream together the butter applesauce sugar and honey until smooth. Mix in the lemon zest. Combine the cream of wheat baking powder and cardamom; stir into the creamed mixture. Blend in the yogurt and egg whites. Try not to overmix or the bars will fall. Finally mix in the coconut and sliced almonds if you like them. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
