Creamy Matcha Swirl Cheesecake Bars
Baked protein cheesecake bars featuring a nutty oat crust and a vibrant, earthy matcha swirl for a silky and satisfying morning treat.
INGREDIENTS
0.25 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp almond flour
1 tsp honey
1 tsp coconut oil
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
0.25 cup low-fat cottage cheese
0.75 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 large egg
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp matcha powder
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
Combine oats, almond flour, honey, and melted coconut oil in a small bowl, then press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
In a blender, combine Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until completely smooth.
Pour most of the creamy batter over the crust, reserving about two tablespoons in a small bowl.
Whisk the matcha powder into the reserved batter until no lumps remain.
Drop spoonfuls of the matcha mixture onto the plain batter and use a toothpick to create a decorative swirl pattern.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours before slicing into bars.
