Ingredients:

1/4 cup of melted coconut oil

Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz (2 packages) of low-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup of plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup of Promix vanilla whey protein powder (code HEALTHYHELPER10 saves 20%!)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 cup of stevia or monk fruit sweetener (to taste)
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons of stevia or monk fruit sweetener
optional: pecans for topping

Instructions:

Preheat your 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 finely crushed. Alternatively, you can place the cereal in a sealed plastic bag and crush it with a rolling pin.
In a bowl, combine the crushed cinnamon cereal with melted coconut oil until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it 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 in the 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 it out evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and stevia (or monk fruit sweetener) for the topping. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cheesecake filling.
Bake the cheesecake bars 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 them cool completely at room temperature. Then, transfer them to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake bars out of the baking dish. Cut into bars of your desired size.
Serve and enjoy these guilt-free High-Protein Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Bars as a satisfying dessert or snack!
