Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Make Crust and Crumble:
In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir in melted butter until mixture is crumbly.
Press 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Reserve the remaining for the topping.
Make Cheesecake Layer:
In a bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until fully combined.
Pour cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
Prepare Raspberry Layer:
Toss raspberries with cornstarch and sugar. Gently spoon over cheesecake layer.
Add Crumble Topping:
Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture evenly over the raspberry layer.
Bake:
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. Cool completely in the pan, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Serve:
Lift out using parchment, slice into bars, and enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
