Last night around 9 PM I just randomly decided that I wanted to make a cheesecake. Well making a cheesecake wasn’t exactly random, but the fact that I made it at 9 PM was a little odd. I was initially going to make a birthday cake cheesecake, but I didn’t have any sprinkles. I opted to make a peanut butter banana cheesecake instead. Boy am I glad that I did!

I decided to make this cheesecake into bars instead of a normal round one. I’m not really sure why other than to change it up a little. And, the fact that there is no need for utensils. You can just grab it and start eating.

Each piece is filled with protein thanks to using a couple scoops of vanilla combat powder and nonfat Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is a great source of protein with about 22g in a 1 cup serving! I also used peanut flour in the cheesecake to give it the delicious peanut flavor without adding all of the fat in peanut butter.

After the cheesecake baked and cooled, I decided to top it with peanut butter and banana of course. Between the peanut butter and mashed banana in the cheesecake as well as the banana and peanut butter on top, it is definitely for anyone who loves the two together!
