Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups flour
1 1/3 cups quick oats (uncooked)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
1 cup fresh blueberries (or raspberries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Stir in the baking soda, salt, flour, and quick oats until well combined.
Press half of the oat mixture into the prepared pan, forming an even layer. Bake for 13 minutes until lightly golden.
While the base is baking, prepare the filling. In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually whisk in the sweetened condensed milk until well mixed. Stir in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until fully incorporated.
Once the bottom layer is baked, pour the cream cheese mixture over it and spread it out evenly. Scatter the blueberries on top of the cream cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top of the berries and gently press it down.
Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting. Store the bars in the refrigerator for a refreshing treat.
