1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oatmeal old-fashioned oats
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
zest of one lemon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a second bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add the oats and flour mixture, mixing until crumbly.
Press two thirds of the oat mixture into a greased 8 inch square ban.
LINE THE PAN with parchment paper for easier removal. 8×8 size is better than 9×9.
Bake bottom layer base for 15 minutes.
While the base is baking, combine sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Pour over the baked crust.
Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until set and edges are golden brown.
Let cool before cutting into bars.
