Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9" x 13"x 2" baking pan. Line with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lightly grease the lining.

Step 2

Place the flour, brown sugar, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until combined (about 4 pulses). Add the butter and pulse until mixture is crumbly. Add the oats and pulse until blended.

Step 3

Set aside 1 & 1/2 cups of oat mixture.

Step 4

Press the remaining oat mixture evenly into the bottom of prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes.

Step 5

Spread the jam evenly on top of the crust, leaving about 1/4-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until well-blended and smooth.

Step 7

Drop small dollops (a teaspoonful or less) of the cream cheese mixture on top of the jam. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top of the bars.

Step 8

Bake 30-35 minutes, or until bars are golden brown and set.

Step 9

Cool completely before cutting into bars.
