- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- Press 2/3 of the crust into the prepared baker and bake for 10 minutes, remove and let cool slightly.
- While the crust is par baking, make the peaches. In a bowl, mix together the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and zest.
- Add the peach filling to the slightly cooled parbaked crust, then add the remaining crust on top, pressing down so the crust is no longer crumbly and sticks to the peach filling.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and peach filling is bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely, at least 2 hours on a wire rack. The bars need to cool completely for the filling to set.
- Slice into 12 bars and serve.
