  • Can be made ahead of time

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumble Bars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then remove from the oven.
  4. While the crust is baking, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, and the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries start to burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. Pour the blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly on top of the blueberries.
  9. Bake in the oven for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  10. Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • If using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them; just increase cooking time slightly if needed.
  • Make sure to cool the bars completely before slicing to help them hold their shape.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute raspberries or strawberries for the blueberries for a different fruit flavor.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the crumble for a warm spice note.
  • Drizzle melted chocolate over the bars after baking for an extra indulgent touch.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added creaminess
  • A drizzle of caramel sauce for extra sweetness
  • Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These bars can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature. For a warm treat, reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
