Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups quick oats
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
16 oz full-fat cream cheese (softened)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup mixed berries (fresh or thawed)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, combine oats, melted butter, and sugar until crumbly. Press firmly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract until creamy.
Beat in eggs one at a time until just mixed; avoid overmixing for a light texture.
Gently fold in the berries until evenly distributed.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown around edges and set in the center.
Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
