Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 can | Sweetened condensed milk |
| 2 tsp | Lemon rind |
| 1/4 cup | Fresh lemon juice |
| 1 1/4 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1 cup | Quick-cooking oats |
| 1/2 cup | Old-fashioned oats |
| 1/2 cup | Brown sugar |
| 1/4 cup | Butter |
| 1/4 cup | Margarine |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1/4 tsp | Baking soda |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Grease a 9 x 9-inch square pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare the creamy filling by mixing together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon rind, and fresh lemon juice in a bowl until thickened. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, quick-cooking oats, old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, butter, margarine, salt, and baking soda. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture becomes crumbly.
-
Press half of the crumbly mixture into the bottom of the greased pan, forming an even layer.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until it is set.
-
Remove the pan from the oven and spread the prepared milk mixture evenly over the baked crust.
-
Sprinkle the remaining crumbly mixture over the milk layer, ensuring an even distribution.
-
Gently press down on the crumbly mixture to help it adhere to the milk layer.
-
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
-
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
-
Once cooled, slice the bars into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
-
Serve these Cream-Filled Oat Bars as a delightful dessert or snack for any occasion. Enjoy!
