Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, rolled oats, salt, baking soda, sugar and brown sugar until no clumps remain.
Add vanilla to melted butter and stir until smooth. Add melted butter mixture to the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until moistened.
Sprinkle half of this crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased, 8 x 8'' baking dish and gently press it into an even layer.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside (but keep the oven on! We're not done baking yet :-)
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and egg yolks.
Pour mixture over crumb crust in baking pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top.
Bake for 23 - 25 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Once cool, cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. (These store well refrigerated overnight, if you want to make them in advance!)
