Lemon Crumb Squares

My friends were getting together for a little birthday lunch yesterday, and the hostess mentioned she never minds when a get together is "heavy on desserts." I'd had this recipe in my binder for a few weeks wanting a reason to try it, and that was all the incentive I needed.

Lemon Crumb Squares
from Pioneer Woman

1/2 cup butter, soft
1 1/3 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350. Combine butter, flour, sugar, oats, salt, baking powder in a bowl. Press half of the mixture into a greased 8x11 pan (you can also use a 9x13- press it thin). Whisk together the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk and pour over crust mixtures. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over bars, then very lightly press in. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden brown, then cool and cut into squares.

Sounds yummy Bec. How does it compare to lemon bars? Is it more chewy like a brownie? I'll have to try that for choir treats.
