LEMON-RASPBERRY OATMEAL CRUMB BARS



Lemon-Raspberry Oatmeal Crumb Bars image

These delicious, easy-to-make bars are sweet and tangy with an oatmeal crust and crumble. I prefer a thicker crust, using 3/4 of the oatmeal mixture for the crust and 1/4 for the crumbles. Feel free to make a thinner crust, using 1/2 of the oatmeal mixture for the crust and the other 1/2 for the crumble.

OATMEAL LEMON BARS



Oatmeal Lemon Bars image

I copied this from Calling All Cooks on Food Network. I have added a couple very minor things to make it a bit mine. All my coworkers who care for lemon bars love them. Remember some lemons are juicier than others. The crust is like shortbread with a little more texture from the oats. Hope you like them if you try them.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup soft butter
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup raw oats (quick cook or reg)
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 lemons, zest of
1 lime, zest of
1 orange, zest of
3 lemons, juice of

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 13x9 pan and set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar. Slowly add flour until incorporated. Slowly add oats and blend until crumbly. Press 3/4 of mixture into the bottom of the pan to form bottom crust. Reserve remaining dough.
  • The juice of 3 lemons--the recipe I used wasn't more specific on the measurement so
  • if your lemons aren't very juicy please squeeze 1 or 2 more. Too little lemon juice just produces very very bland lemon bars.
  • Make sure the zest is finely grated or finely chopped. Blend condensed milk, zests and juice until smooth. Pour over crust and spread to the edges of the crust.
  • Crumble the reserved dough over the top.
  • Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes or until crust crumbles are lightly golden. Cool completely, at least 1 hour before cutting.
  • Store in an airtight container.
  • I wish I could tell you how long they keep but that has never come up since they disappear so quickly!
