Creamy Lemon Crumb Squares

I am a true Lemon Lover. I love finding new lemon recipes. The other night at a big Cummard family function my cousin Adelle made these Divine Lemon Crumb Squares. I of course had to find out the recipe, she informed me that she had gotten it from the Becoming Betty blog. I wasn't surprised since I always love the recipes they put on the blog. When I went to check it out I saw that she had gotten the recipe from the Pioneer Woman- once again no shocker there. Anyways the end result is I got the recipe and made them for myself.
I love Lemon Bars, but am pretty picky with them. I really like these more than Lemon Bars since I am all about granola anything with Oats I Love! So if you are into Lemon and and love Crisps you will love this.

Creamy Lemon Crumb Squares


1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cube butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oats
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
zest of 1 lemon

*Mix butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add dry ingredients. Press half of crumb mixture into 9x13 pan. (She said 8x11 pan but I don't have one that size). Mix together condensed milk, lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined. Spread over crumb mixture in pan. Top with the rest of crumb mixture, but don't press. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes and then let sit on counter for 30 minutes to cool. Cut into squares and refrigerate a couple of hours before serving.
