Ingredients

1 serving cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup cold unsalted butter
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon vanilla butter and nut flavoring
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups thinly sliced rhubarb

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in butter until coarse and crumbly. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust, reserving about 1/3 cup for topping.
Mix cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, vanilla butter and nut flavoring, and cinnamon together in a bowl until smooth. Stir in rhubarb. Pour filling on top of crust. Sprinkle with the reserved crumble.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into squares.
