Servings: 9 bars
Calories: 292kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 stick
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- Zest from 1 orange
- ½ cup fresh orange juice from about 2 navel oranges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line 8x8” baking dish with foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- In a bowl with electric mixer, beat together butter and brown sugar until well combined, about 1 minute.
- Add in flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and mix until crumb mixture forms.
- Press half of the mixture on the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, orange zest, and orange juice.
- Pour orange mixture on top of crust.
- Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30-32 minutes, until golden on the edges and set in the middle. It will still seem kind of jiggly but it will set up as it cools.
- Cool completely.
- Remove bars from the pan with the foil and peel foil from edges. Cut into bars.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- The crust and topping are supposed to be crumbly and not dough-like. Press it into the bottom of the pan firmly and you'll be good to go.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
