Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake Bars

Combine strawberries, water, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Reduce to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring and mashing strawberries as they soften.

Once thickened, pour into a glass measuring cup to yield 1 cup and let it sit at room temp.

Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.

Combine flour, oats, and salt in a bowl.

Cream butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Mix in vanilla and egg, then dry ingredients.

Press 2/3 of the dough into the pan and bake for 8 minutes. Let it cool.

Mix additional flour, oats, and sugar into the remaining dough for the crumble. Chill in fridge.

Cream together cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar, then mix in egg and vanilla.

Spread cheesecake batter on cooled base. Spoon jam evenly over the cheesecake.

Take crumble from fridge and sprinkle over jam. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Cool bars at room temp for 20 minutes, then chill in fridge for at least 2 hours to set.

Slice into bars and serve.
