INGREDIENTS
1 cup Almond Flour (96g)
1 large Egg White (33g) for crust
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (245g)
4 oz Low-Fat Cream Cheese (113g)
4 large Egg Whites (132g) for filling
2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (12g)
1/4 cup Pumpkin Puree (61g)
1 oz Dark Chocolate (28g)
2 scoops Whey Protein Isolate (60g total)
1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts (50g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine the almond flour and 1 large egg white in a bowl. Mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press the mixture evenly into the base of the prepared pan to form the crust.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, 4 egg whites, unsweetened cocoa powder, pumpkin puree, and dark chocolate until fully blended.
Stir in the 2 scoops of whey protein isolate until the mixture is smooth and uniformly combined.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly on top of the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 4 equal servings.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours before serving for a firmer texture.
