Creating Strawberry Cheesecake Crumb Bars can be an enjoyable process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add Melted Butter: Pour in the melted butter. Mix until crumbly; reserve half of this mixture for the topping.
4. Press into Pan: Pour the remaining crumb mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press it down firmly to create an even crust layer.
5. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
6. Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
7. Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake mixture.
8. Spread Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
9. Sprinkle Topping: Crumble the reserved topping mixture over the cheesecake layer.
10. Bake Again: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and the filling is set.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for another hour for optimal slicing.
12. Slice and Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy!
