Ingredients:

• ¾ cup butter, softened
• ⅔ cup sugar
• ⅔ cup brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ⅓ cups flour
• 1 ⅓ cups quick oats (uncooked)
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 cup blueberries (or raspberries)

Directions:

1. Prepare Your Baking Setup: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray for easy removal.
2. Create the Oat Base: In a large bowl, combine the softened butter with both sugars until well mixed. Incorporate the baking soda, salt, flour, and oatmeal until you achieve a crumbly mixture. Press half of this mixture into your prepared pan and bake for 13 minutes.
3. Mix the Cream Cheese Layer: While the base bakes, prepare your filling. Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually whisk in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Add the vanilla and egg yolk, mixing until smooth.
4. Layer Your Components: Once the base is done baking, pour the cream cheese mixture over it, spreading it evenly. Distribute the blueberries across the cream cheese layer. Top with the remaining oat mixture, pressing down gently.
5. Bake to Perfection: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until you see golden brown edges.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting. Store these delicious treats in the refrigerator.
