Preparation

Step 1

Spray a 9X13 inch baking dish with nonstick baking spray with flour, set aside.

In a large bowl, toss together 1 1/4 cups flour, oats and 2/3 cup sugar, baking and butter.Lightly press flour mixture into the bottom of prepared baking dish.

Bake at 375 degrees until crust begins to brown around edges, about 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 30 minutes.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add remaining 1 cup sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons flour; beat until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended. Add lemon juice and vanilla. Spread blueberries over cooled crust. Pour cream cheese mixture over blueberries.

Bake at 325 degrees 40 minutes, until a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge of baking dish comes out clean and the center feels firm.

Let cool for 2 hours on a wire rack.

Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, approximately 3 hours. Cut into squares.

Garnish with Confectioners Sugar and fresh berries.
