How to Make Baked Monster Cookie Cheesecake
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and vanilla and mix until blended.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Mix in sour cream and peanut butter until smooth.
Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and M&M’s.
Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes, then remove and cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
