We had a Luau potluck over the weekend and these bars were brought by a friend. She got the recipe out of a church cookbook from Hawaii. These were served warm almost like an apple crisp and I think a scoop of ice cream would have been perfect...they were more like a dessert when served warm but more of a "bar" when cooled.

Thought they were like Lemon Squares, but these have an oatmeal topping... DS said they tasted more like a cobbler.. very very good! I easily halved the recipe and it came out wonderfully! (not a dieter food, lol)
