Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter (or melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds on high).
In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, coconut, ground walnuts and baking powder. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a spatula or large spoon until the butter is evenly distributed. Press half the oat mixture into the prepared pan (a 9- × 9-inch pan buttered and lined with parchment paper) firmly and evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and lemon juice until fully combined and slightly thickened. Pour the lemon mixture over the base. Use the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula to spread the filling evenly across the base. Sprinkle the remaining half of the oat mixture over the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes or until the top is a golden brown.
