Recipe Introduction
These bars have a nice citrus tang. With the oats and the brown sugar, they are a good change of pace from the traditional lemon bar that has the shortbread crust.
List of Ingredients
14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup butter ; room temperature
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar Recipe
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 13 x 9-inch pan. Combine sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice (I usually mix quickly in the food processor); set aside. In large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients; mix at low speed until crumbly. Press half of crumb mixture into prepared pan. Spread with lemon mixture. Crumble remaining mixture over all. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until light golden brown. (Bars will be soft.) Chill. Cut into bars. Refrigerate any leftovers. Makes 2 to 3 dozen bars. Note: can substitute all lime juice or half lime juice and half lemon juice with good results.
