I added sprinkles for the holiday and a little food coloring for a festive coloring.
SUNNY DAY (LEMON OATMEAL) BARS
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cups quick cooking oats
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large mixer bowl, combine all bar ingredients, beating at low speed until well blended.
- Spread into an un-greased 13×9 pan.
- Bake 15-20 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
GLAZE
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- Combine all ingredients, stirring until smooth.
- With the cake tester poke a dozen or so small holes in the cake so the glaze will ooze in.
- Pour glaze over warm bars.
- Cool completely.
