Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream (or plain yogurt)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, salt, and baking soda. In another bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until combined. Reserve 3/4 cup of the mixture for topping and press the rest into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  4. While the crust bakes, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, egg yolk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Pour filling over baked crust and sprinkle reserved crumbs on top. Bake for another 17 to 20 minutes until golden.
  6. Cool completely before slicing into squares.
