ingredient:
crust:
Cheesecake filling:
- 16 ounces (2 packages) of low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup Promix vanilla whey protein powder (code HEALTHYHELPER10 save 20%!)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup stevia or monk fruit sweetener (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- optional: pecans for topping
instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a food processor, pulse the cinnamon cereal until smooth. Alternatively, you can place the cereal in a sealed plastic bag and crush it with a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, combine the ground cinnamon cereal with the melted coconut oil until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- While the crust is cooling, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add Greek yogurt, protein powder, eggs, vanilla extract, stevia (or monk fruit sweetener), and ground cinnamon. Beat until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and stevia (or monk fruit sweetener) for the topping. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the cheesecake filling.
- Bake the cheesecake bar in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Once done, remove the cheesecake bars from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then, transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the cheesecake bars out of the baking dish. Cut into desired size bars.
- Serve and enjoy these guilt-free High Protein Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Bars as a satisfying dessert or snack!
