Ingredients

Scale
  • Crust:
    • 1 cup almond flour
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
    • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • Filling:
    • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup Greek yogurt
    • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
    • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, and honey to form the crust mixture.
  3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a muffin tin lined with paper liners.
  4. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then add Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just incorporated.
  6. Pour the filling over the crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.

Notes

  • These cheesecakes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and Greek yogurt with vegan cream cheese and coconut yogurt.
  • Feel free to add flavor variations by incorporating cocoa powder or fruit puree into the filling.
