Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
  3. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth using an electric mixer. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them.
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  8. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Mix until crumbly.
  9. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the topping is golden brown.
  11. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  12. Once set, slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham crackers and flour. These bars can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
