Ingredients

Scale

Oat Crust & Crumble

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/3 cups quick oats (uncooked)

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 egg yolk

Fruit Layer

  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
    (You can also use raspberries!)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

  • Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or coat with nonstick spray.

2. Make the Crust and Crumble

  1. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar.

  2. Mix in the baking soda, salt, flour, and oats until combined.

  3. Press half of this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

  4. Bake for 13 minutes.

3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

  1. In another bowl, stir the cream cheese until smooth.

  2. Gradually whisk in the sweetened condensed milk until fully blended.

  3. Add the vanilla and egg yolk; mix until smooth.

4. Assemble

  1. Pour the cream cheese filling over the warm baked crust.

  2. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly on top.

  3. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the berries and gently press it down.

5. Bake

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

6. Cool & Serve

  • Let the bars cool completely.

  • Chill in the refrigerator before slicing for clean cuts.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge.

Notes

  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw—they’ll release less liquid.

  • Press the bottom crust firmly so the bars hold together well.

  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest to the filling.

  • These bars slice best when fully chilled.
