Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/3 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

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Step 4
While crust is baking, mix condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon extract, and almond extract in a small bowl.

Step 5
Pour lemon mixture over the baked crust and spread evenly. Top with remaining oat mixture and gently pat into lemon mixture.

Step 6
Return to the oven and bake until filling has set and top crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Step 7
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.
