The best of both worlds! If you like lemon bars and oatmeal cookies, this will satisfy both cravings at once. The hint of almond along with these other flavors, builds a light and fresh flavor that no other lemon bar has.

Time 3h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
¼ cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Mix brown sugar and butter in a large bowl until combined. Mix flour, oats, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to butter mixture and mix until combined. Press half of the oat mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • While crust is baking, mix condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon extract, and almond extract in a small bowl.
  • Pour lemon mixture over the baked crust and spread evenly. Top with remaining oat mixture and gently pat into lemon mixture.
  • Return to the oven and bake until filling has set and top crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours. Cut into 16 bars.

These bars were a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try using less lemon juice next time.

These bars were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more moisture next time, maybe some yogurt or applesauce.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but I tried these bars anyway and I was pleasantly surprised. They were really good! The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I'll definitely be making these again.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've made these bars several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. I also like to add a variety of nuts and dried fruits to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
