7 Best Mother's Day Breakfast Bars | Easy & Delicious Secrets

Description

These Mother’s Day breakfast bars are the perfect way to celebrate Mom! A crumbly oat base, creamy filling, and sweet berries combine for a delicious and easy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Base:
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
For the Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. Make the Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Press the Crust: Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even crust.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Assemble the Bars: Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the mixed berries over the filling. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the berries.
6. Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
7. Cool and Cut: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will help them hold their shape.
