These bars look a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual oatmeal recipe.

I'm not sure how I feel about the combination of oatmeal and lemon. I think I'll have to try it to see for myself.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

These oatmeal lemon crème bars were a huge hit with my family! The combination of oats, lemon, and cream cheese is simply divine. The bars are perfectly sweet and tart, with a wonderful crumbly texture. I will definitely be making these again.
