How to Make Our Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Cups
Step 1: Prep
Preheat your oven to 170°C (325°F).
Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt until smooth and lump-free.
Add the protein powder, eggs, sweetener, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and salt.
Mix well until the batter is creamy and fully combined.
Step 3: Fill & Bake
Divide the mixture evenly between the cupcake liners.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the tops are set and the centers no longer look wet.
Step 4: Cool & Chill
Remove from the oven and cool completely at room temperature.
Once cooled, refrigerate for 1–2 hours before serving to allow the cups to firm up.
