INGREDIENTS
2 oz Light Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 large Egg Whites
1 scoop Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Dash of Liquid Stevia (optional)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small square baking pan (around 8x8 inches or appropriately sized for a single serving bar) with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the light cream cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, egg whites, and chocolate whey protein powder. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
Add the rolled oats and unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated. Taste the batter and add a dash of liquid stevia if you desire extra sweetness.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the edges begin to slightly brown and the center is just set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before slicing into bars.
Slice into your desired bar sizes. Each bar should fall within the macro range of 31 - 59 grams of protein and 315 - 585 kcal, making it a perfect light yet satisfying meal option.
