Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

How to Make Blueberry Crumble Cheesecake Bars

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for the topping.
3. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
5. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth and creamy.
6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and chopped pecans (if using) into the cream cheese mixture.
7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust, spreading it evenly.
8. Sprinkle the reserved crumble topping over the cheesecake layer.
9. Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the topping is golden brown.
10. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
• Avoid overmixing the cheesecake batter to keep it light and fluffy.
• For a stronger blueberry flavor, consider using a mix of fresh and frozen blueberries.

Easy Variations

• Substitute raspberries or strawberries for blueberries for a different fruity twist.
• Add a swirl of lemon curd into the cheesecake mixture for a zesty flavor.
• Use crushed graham crackers instead of oats for the crumble topping for a different texture.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh whipped cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
• A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for extra sweetness.
