Crunchy Creamy Lemon Crumbles

These Lemon Crumbles are lemony oat bars with a mildly sweet, creamy filling. 

The creamy filling is flavored with fresh lemon juice and zest to bring out that fresh citrus flavor.

You will love the crunchy texture that these bars have. And the fact that they are just a touch sweet is an added bonus.

Enjoy one of these bars with an afternoon cup of coffee or tea.
