Oatmeal Crust and Topping:
Cream Cheese Filling:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF, with a rack in the middle of the oven. Spray-grease an 8"X8" square nonstick pan.
Place the flour, oats, and brown sugar in a food processor bowl and pulse until the oats are ground. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Wipe out the processor bowl, and set aside.
Add the butter and oil to the flour mixture. Stir with a fork to distribute the fats. Add the egg substitute, a little at a time, using your fingers to push the mixture into crumbs. Use only as much as necessary to get the mixture to clump. Press half the crumbs onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack.
To make the filling, place the granulated sugar and the low-fat and non-fat cream cheeses into the processor bowl. Process until smooth.
Add the egg, milk, sour cream, vanilla, and rum. Pulse-process until well blended. Scrape down the bowl and process for a few seconds. Drain the raisins and add them to the batter. Pour the mixture over the crust and sprinkle with the remaining crumbs.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with no moist cheese attached.
Cool for 1/2 hour and then refrigerate, uncovered, until completely cool. Cover and chill for several hours or overnight. Cut the cheesecake into 16 squares. The squares can be made 2 days ahead, or frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
