1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
16 -
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
17 -
1 tsp cornstarch
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional), 1 tsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
02 -
In a food processor, pulse 1 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup almond flour, and a pinch of sea salt until finely ground. Add 2 tbsp maple syrup and 2 tbsp melted coconut oil. Pulse again until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
03 -
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Divide the oat mixture evenly among the liners. Press firmly into the bottom of each liner to create a compact base for your High Protein Blueberry Cheesecake Bites. Set aside.
04 -
In a medium bowl, beat 8 oz light cream cheese (softened) until smooth and creamy. Add 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup erythritol, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Beat until the filling is light and fluffy.
05 -
Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared bases in the muffin liners, smoothing the tops. Dollop small amounts of the cooled blueberry swirl mixture on top of each cheesecake bite. You should have enough for 12 bites.
06 -
Using a toothpick or a small knife, gently swirl the blueberry mixture into the cheesecake filling to create a marbled effect. This adds visual appeal to your High Protein Blueberry Cheesecake Bites. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
07 -
Once the High Protein Blueberry Cheesecake Bites are firm, carefully remove them from the muffin liners. Serve chilled and enjoy these delicious, protein-packed treats as a healthy dessert or snack.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra burst of flavor, use fresh blueberries for the swirl and garnish with a few extra berries before serving.
02 -
These cheesecake bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
03 -
If you don't have erythritol, you can substitute with another granulated sweetener like stevia or monk fruit, adjusting to your preferred sweetness level.
04 -
For a richer base, you can toast the rolled oats lightly before processing, which adds a nutty depth of flavor.
