I would be the first to admit that I do have a sweet tooth for baked goods. I love pairing up a fresh baked scone or lemon doughnut with a hot cup of coffee, and this jammy lemon bar recipe definitely fits in that category! It's not like a traditional lemon bar with multiple ingredients, the filling is just pure lemon curd and topped with a crunchy granola and oatmeal topping. The idea came from these blackberry jam bars.
