Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, slightly softened
• 1 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix butter and brown sugar until combined. Sift salt, baking soda and flour together. Add flour mixture and oats to the sugar/butter mixture. Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch pan.

Mix condensed milk, lemon zest and lemon juice together, then pour onto the bottom layer of the crumb mixture. Crumble the rest of the crumb mixture on top, but do not press.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let pan rest on the counter for 30 minutes, then cut into squares and refrigerate for a few hours or until cool. Serve cool.
