Method
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour until smooth. Set aside.
- Make the cheesecake batter:
- Add all cheesecake batter ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth (30–60 seconds). Scrape down sides if needed.
- Assemble:
- Pour half the cheesecake batter into the pan.
- Drop spoonfuls of cinnamon swirl mixture over it.
- Add the rest of the batter, then swirl the remaining cinnamon mixture on top.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon through the batter.
- Bake:
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly wobbly.
- Let cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the fridge at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Optional glaze:
- Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over chilled bars before slicing and serving.
Notes
These bars slice cleanest when fully chilled.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Add a graham cracker or cinnamon cookie crust if you prefer a firmer base.
You can make this gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
