LEMON CHEESECAKE BARS RECIPE
(makes 9 bars)
Ingredients:
For the crust:
3/4 cup quick cooking oats (70g)
1/2 cup processed ground oats, or oat flour (50g)
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce, or water
For the filling:
1 cup ricotta cheese (250g)
1 cup Greek yogurt (250g)
1/3 cup maple syrup, honey or agave (80ml)
1/4 cup lemon juice (60ml)
2 large eggs
2 tbsp processed ground oats, or oat flour (50g)
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
Prepare the Crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine quick-cooking oats, oat flour, melted butter, maple syrup, and your choice of applesauce or water. The addition of applesauce brings extra flavor to the crust.
Transfer the mixture to the lined baking dish, then press it into the bottom using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake the crust at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes. Allow it to cool while you move on to the filling.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, your preferred sweetener, and fresh lemon juice.
Gradually incorporate the eggs one at a time, using a mixer on low speed. Mix only until the ingredients are incorporated, being mindful not to overmix and introduce excess air into the cheesecake filling.
Pour the prepared filling evenly over the pre-baked crust. Gently shake the baking dish to ensure an even distribution of the filling.
Bake the assembled bars at 350°F (180°C) for 22-25 minutes.
Allow the baked bars to cool to room temperature, or for at least an hour after baking. For optimum results, refrigerate the bars to cool and set completely for 3 hours or overnight.
Once fully set, cut the cheesecake into 9 or 16 equal squares, depending on your desired serving size.
Enjoy!

I'm headed out today to replenish my supply of ricotta cheese and fresh lemons. This recipe looks amazing! I'm not sure if we'll be able to wait overnight to give it a try. Looks like our favorite 5-star CZcams chef has another healthy winner, as usual! Thank you, Sasha! 🥰 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ricotta cheese is definitely one of my fridge staples:) If I'm not baking with ricotta, I would definitely eat some with my fruit jam and peanut butter for a quick sweet fix. Hope you'll enjoy your lemon cheesecake Lauren, and I appreciate all of your 5-star reviews that keep coming from you! Sending back love!
This is good! I just made it! I couldn’t wait for it to sit for one hour, so I dug in beforehand. A little soft, but it’s still tastes delicious. I think I’ll add more lemon next time. I did not measure, I think I just squeezed one lemon. Thank you, for this recipe!!
I just LOVE anything with lemon! Thank you for another genius healthy version of our favourite desserts. As ever, TFS and have a great week! 👍 ❤
Hi Hazel! I expected you would approve this recipe, cause both of us are a huge lemon dessert lovers. Trust me this healthier version can stand up to any other regular cheesecake. Thanks for supporting as always! Take care! Sending back love!

A Baked New York Cheesecake flavoured with lemon and vanilla is my all time favourite dessert. I think now this Cheesecake is by far your Best Recipe 👍😋

Hi! If I wanted to replace the 1/4 cup of lemon, and instead add vanilla extract, how could I change around the measurements without ruining the recipe?
you can make it with oats
This is a great recipe! Oatmeal crust? Sounds great!
Yeah, super easy crust, definitely no need for any cookie crumb.

Please make some recipes with cottage cheese! ❤❤❤
Sure, there will be more cottage cheese recipes.
Best of the best
Glad you like it!
No fail cheesecake? you mean im not allowed to make it ? ;_;
Taste-to-effort ratio is way above other cheesecakes I've made before.
The hardest thing is waiting to cut into it.
Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, I know, but it's definitely worth it, I enjoyed it so much more the next day.
Wonderful
Can I use cottage cheese instead of Ricotta cheese in this recipe?
the greatest!
Thanks a lot!
Has anyone tried freezing this? I got a big tub of ricotta cheese so i was thinking of making a double batch and freezing one.
I’m not familiar with the brands you use. Are the ricotta cheese and Greek yogurt full fat? If so, have you ever used low fat?
Nice recipe👍 Any alternate of eggs? If i dont want to use eggs or flax-eggs?
Hi! You can try with using 1/4 cup applesauce or 1/4 cup silken tofu in place of 1 egg.
I made this today... Now for the hardest part: waiting for 3 hours!
That's great news! Hope you enjoyed your sheet cake!
🎉
Bravo
Thanks!
What is the sweetener used?? Corn syrup??
No, it's agave
Do i need quick oats or can i use normal ones?
Hi! You can use regular rolled oats too, or you can just pulse them a few times in your food processor.
Hello what can i do to add more calories in the cheesecake ?
In this particular recipe you can use cream cheese or mascarpone cheese instead of ricotta cheese, and also add more sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
@@HowToCookSmarter Alright Thank you !
What would be a dairy free option?
I would try to make one with silken tofu instead of dairy.
If I don’t add oats into the filling will it still be good?🤔
More creamy but still good.
👍🇬🇷
Oh Mercy!! 😅
Glad you like it my friend!
I made this and did not care for it. Tasted more like eggs to me and the crust tasted like rye bread for some reason. I did it according to the recipe. The carrot cake is much better.
❤❤❤
👍❤🇩🇪
Sending back love to Germany!
Raw eggs? No, thanks.
This cheesecake is baked in the oven.
Lecker!
