I made these to give to a friend. After one bite, she asked where I got the recipe and I said "Recipezaar". She said "SIX STARS!!!". She said that she liked these even more than the other lemon bars I've made in the past. My friend thought that there were nuts in the bars. I think that it was because of the oatmeal (I used regular oatmeal, not instant). I did taste the filling and it was delicious! I made this as directed and it was easily put together. I will make these again but next time I think that I'll skp using the pastry blender and just use the spoon used to mix the butter and brown sugar together (less things to cleanup). Thank you so much for posting this recipe!
