How to Make Raspberry Cream Cheese Bars For Slygirl

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Press ¾ of the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the oat crust.
  8. Drop 1 cup black raspberry preserves by spoonfuls over the cream cheese mixture, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
  9. Combine the remaining ¼ of the oat mixture with ½ cup slivered almonds (optional).
  10. Sprinkle the almond oat mixture evenly over the preserves.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bars are set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  13. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
