Recipe Card
For the Crust:
ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Cascadian Farm Organic Oats and Honey Granola
- 6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
For the Cheesecake:
ingredients
- 1 pound full fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup raspberry preserves
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Make the crust: In a blender or food processor, add the Cascadian Farm Organic Oats and Honey Granola and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl and add in the melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined, then press into the prepared pan.
Step 3
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the cream cheese, honey, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy. With the motor running, add the eggs and mix until smooth. Pour over the crust and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
Step 4
Dollop the raspberry preserves on top and swirl with the tip of a knife or offset spatula. Bake for 30 minutes, until just set and lightly jiggles. Let cool completely, then chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Step 5
Carefully transfer the bars to a cutting board and slice into squares, then serve.
