Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars

Perhaps you have become great friends with the infamous Whole Grain Raspberry Cheesecake Bars? If not, you must. And now, you must also get to know our new friend, the Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars. Where has this friend been your whole life?

But speaking of whole, it is fantastic to know that these bars are made with whole grains. But no one, not even the boxed poptart lovers out there, will realize that these are packed with delightful nutrition. I know this because I fed a batch to a bunch of teenage boys who were visiting our home and who had just polished off a box of poptarts they had brought over. The next morning, I presented them with these bars.

Perhaps it was the added chocolate chips that made these so inviting. Well yeah, of course it was the chocolate chips. Still, they gobbled these down with a pitcher of iced coffee and some fruit, thanking me for the great breakfast like the sweet boys that they are.

It’s so fun to make treats like this that provide nourishment while still being “not weird.” You cannot go wrong with the words “chocolate chips” and “cheesecake bars” in the same title, am I right?

So get yourself some oats (which you probably already have), some chocolate chips (which you probably already have), some whole wheat flour (which you probably already have), and some cream cheese and some butter (please tell me you keep a lifetime supply of these golden ingredients on hand at all times). You will love these delightful Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars!

    Is an 8×8 pan correct? Your picture looks like you used a 13×9. 3 cups of grains seems high for an 8×8.

      I would say the amounts are about right for an 8×8. I have a similar recipe that for a 9×13 pan uses 7+ cups combined oats and flour. The recipe gets divided for the crust layer and the crumbly on top. More than likely Laura to feed all her men needs to double the recipe as an 8×8 wouldn’t go too far.
      I can’t wait to try this version. Anything with chocolate chips and cheesecake has got to be good!!

      Yes, the double layer makes it fit the smaller pan. What’s pictured is my 2 quart oblong pyrex dish, which looks just like the 9×13 but it’s the miniature version. :)

    DELICIOUS! My husband raved over this, as he was eating. He gave it a “thumbs up” & told me to save the recipe. He gave it a 5-star rating. I did too! ?
