INGREDIENTS

  • Preparation

    • Cooking spray

  • Dry ingredients

    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup rolled oats
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

  • Wet ingredients

    • 🧈 ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
    • 🍋 ¼ cup lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
    • 1 teaspoon almond extract

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

2

Mix brown sugar and butter in a large bowl until combined. Mix flour, oats, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl, then add to the butter mixture and mix. Press half of the oat mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan.

3

Bake the crust in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

4

While the crust is baking, mix condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon extract, and almond extract in a small bowl.

5

Pour lemon mixture over the baked crust and spread evenly. Top with remaining oat mixture and gently pat it into the lemon mixture.

6

Return to the oven and bake until the filling has set and top crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

7

Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours. Cut into 16 bars.
