Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Prepare your baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Beat together the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and oats until crumbly.
  3. Press slightly more than half of the crumble mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes.
  4. Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  5. Pour the lemon filling over the crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top.
  6. Bake for an additional 22–25 minutes, until edges are golden brown and center appears set.
  7. Allow to cool completely before lifting from the pan and cutting into bars.
