I made these lemon crumble bars for my husband the other day and this is how he responds.. ..well i can you it wasn't verbal.. he ate almost half the slice within a very short amount of time. These lemon bars have 3 delicious layers. First the crumble baked on the bottom, the creamy, kind of toffee lemony centre and the crunchy crumble topping.. so delicious, it will become your new favorite!
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 large egg yolks
1/2 tsp lemon extract

Preheat oven to 200'c. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, salt and baking soda. Stir in both sugars and mix until no clumps of sugar remain.
