How to Make Cream Cheese Rhubarb Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate large bowl, beat together 1 (8 ounce) package softened cream cheese, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently fold in 3 cups chopped rhubarb.
  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust in the prepared pan.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set completely.
  10. Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
