Ingredients for Blueberry Crisp Cheesecake Bars

For the crust & crisp topping:

1 ¼ cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour

⅔ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake layer:

16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the blueberry filling:

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Blueberry Crisp Cheesecake Bars

Step 1: Prepare the Crust and Topping

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Press ⅔ of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Reserve the remaining ⅓ for the crisp topping.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Layer

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
Add eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until just combined—do not overmix.

Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust.

Step 3: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

In a medium bowl, toss blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until coated.
Spoon the blueberry mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.

Step 4: Add Crisp Topping & Bake

Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture evenly over the top.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing into bars.

Notes for Blueberry Crisp Cheesecake Bars

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw; just toss with sugar and cornstarch and add to the bars.
For best results, use brick-style cream cheese (not the whipped tub variety). Learn more about choosing the right cream cheese.
Let bars chill completely before slicing for clean edges.
