Ingredients

Crust

  • 3/4 C 84g Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/4 C Granular Sweetener I used Swerve Granular
  • 1/4 C 56g Light Butter, I used Land O' Lakes with canola

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake

  • 4 oz Fat Free Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 C 113g Vanilla Fat Free Greek Yogurt
  • 1 C 240g Canned Pumpkin
  • 3 scoops 84g Protein Powder, I used Bowmar Nutrition Pumpkin Spice Protein

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 400F and line an 8x8 baking dish with a strip of parchment paper (optional to make removing from the dish easier).
  • Mix the crust ingredients in a bowl and spread the mixture into a thin layer on the bottom of the baking dish.

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust begins to turn golden brown.

  • Mix the cheesecake ingredients together until smooth. IMPORTANT: Let the crust cool for at least 10 minutes before adding the cheesecake mixture to avoid a soggy crust.

  • Reduce the heat to 350F and bake for 23-25 minutes or until the center is mostly set, unlike a traditional cheesecake.

  • Cool and refrigerate to let the cheesecake set (3-4 hours but overnight is best) before cutting into 16 squares or however many bars you'd like.
