One of our favorite family recipes is a coffee cake our mom first made when she was in junior high. It’s hard to mess with a classic, but I took the flavors we loved and turned them into a scrumptious cheesecake bar. The crust is made using my mom’s actual coffee cake recipe followed by a coffee and cinnamon infused cheesecake batter then finished with the leftover crust ingredients which are crumbled over the top. These bars are so delicious and are now a new family favorite.
