Decoration Tips:
To elevate the appearance of these cheesecake bars, consider a light dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa powder just before serving.

If you're serving these at a party or special event, add a dollop of whipped cream on each bar with an Oreo cookie half for a charming and irresistible display.
Brownie Base:
- 40 grams of oats
- 10 grams of cocoa powder
- 1 whole egg
- A splash of water or soy milk for consistency (water can be used as an alternative)
Combine all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, spreadable batter. Pour this mixture into a prepared baking dish and smooth it out evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes, or until set.
Cheesecake Topping:
- 150 grams of plain Greek yogurt
- 30 grams of vanilla-flavored protein powder
- 20 grams of cornstarch
- 3 or more Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
In a mixing bowl, blend the yogurt, protein powder, and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth. Fold in the chopped Oreo pieces. Spread this cheesecake mixture over the pre-baked brownie base. Return to the oven and bake at the same temperature for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is firm and lightly golden on top.
Allow the bars to cool in the pan, then slice into squares and serve.
Enjoy!
