Description
These healthy high-protein cheesecake bars are creamy, naturally sweetened, and made without flour or refined sugar. Perfect for a nutritious dessert or protein-packed snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 8 oz light cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup fresh berries for topping
- Cooking spray or parchment paper for lining
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, protein powder, and cornstarch. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
- Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Allow the bars to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
- Top with fresh berries before serving.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different natural sweetness.
- Vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder both work well.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Serve chilled for the best texture.
