Why You’ll Love These High-Protein Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Bars

• Wholesome Ingredients: Made with Greek yogurt, coconut oil, and a naturally sweetened cereal crust
• High-Protein: Greek yogurt and cream cheese offer a satisfying protein boost
• Gluten-Free Option: Just use a gluten-free cinnamon cereal like Seven Sundays
• Delicious Cinnamon Flavor: Tastes like a cinnamon roll and cheesecake combined

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 2 cups Seven Sundays Cinnamon Cereal, crushed (code HEALTHYHELPER saves $$)
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil

Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup sugar-free sweetener (I use NuNaturals…code HEALTHYHELPER saves $$!)
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Swirl Topping:

• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp sugar-free sweetener (I use NuNaturals…code HEALTHYHELPER saves $$!)

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, crush the Seven Sundays Cinnamon Cereal until fine. Mix with melted coconut oil until the texture resembles damp sand. Press the crust mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, sweetener, and cinnamon. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
• Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth out evenly. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sweetener for the swirl topping. Sprinkle it over the filling and use a skewer or knife to create swirls. Add chopped pecans if desired.
• Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the center is set. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to fully set before slicing into bars.

Tips for Success

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for an extra creamy texture if preferred
• For best results, chill overnight before cutting
• Want more protein? Add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder to the filling (I use Iconic Vanilla Bean Protein…code HEALTHYHELPER saves $$!)
• Make it dairy-free by swapping in plant-based cream cheese and yogurt alternatives

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Let thaw in the fridge before serving.
