Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
  • Mix oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and whole wheat flour together in a bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press half the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is set, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Beat cream cheese and white sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; add egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Beat mixture until smooth; fold in blueberries. Pour filling onto the baked crust; top with remaining oat mixture.
  • Bake until bars are lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cool in refrigerator, 1 to 2 hours.
