Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt

• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh rhubarb

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, oats and brown sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup crumb mixture; press remaining mixture onto the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Set aside.

For filling, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the salt, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add egg; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in rhubarb. Pour over crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Chill for at least two hours before cutting into squares.
