High Protein Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Jars
These creamy cheesecake jars are packed with protein and perfect for a quick snack or breakfast on the go.
recipesbynani.comYou are going to love how easy these little jars are to put together when you need a boost of energy. They use cottage cheese and Greek yogurt to give you a great serving of protein without taking away from that decadent cheesecake flavor we all crave.
My best tip is to blend your cottage cheese until it is completely smooth before mixing it with the other ingredients. It makes the texture just as silky as traditional cheesecake, and no one will ever guess the secret ingredient.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate granola
- Optional toppings: fresh berries or chopped peanut butter cups
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Place the cottage cheese into a blender or food processor and blend until it is perfectly smooth.
- 2
Add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract into the blender with the cottage cheese.
- 3
Pulse the mixture until everything is well combined and creamy.
- 4
Start assembling your jars by placing a spoonful of chocolate granola at the bottom of each glass or container.
- 5
Spoon the peanut butter cheesecake mixture on top of the granola.
- 6
Repeat the layers if you wish, or finish with a generous sprinkle of extra granola and your favorite toppings like fresh berries or chopped peanut butter cups.
💡 Tips
Store these in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you plan to save them for later, add the crunchy granola right before you serve so it stays crispy instead of getting soggy.
