Lemon Crumble Bars are a nice bar cookie that combines a crumbly oatmeal base and topping with a smooth and creamy lemon filling. Yum.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups oatmeal
  • 1-1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, if desired
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9" x 13" pan with nonstick baking spray containing flour and set aside.

In large bowl, combine flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, and baking soda and mix until combined. Add melted butter; stir until even crumbs form. Press half into prepared pan.

In small bowl, combine condensed milk with lemon juice; mix with wire whisk until smooth. Evenly pour over crust in pan. Top with remaining crumbs.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until crust is golden and set. Cool completely, then cut into squares to serve. Makes 36 bar cookies.
