Ingredients

16 ounces Reduced Fat Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature (not fat free!)
2/3 cup Coconut Sugar
2 tablespoons Honey
2 Eggs
2/3 cup Vanilla Protein Powder
2 tablespoons Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and fill a 9x13 inch pan 1/3 way with water. Place into the oven while it’s preheating. Additionally, spray an 8x8 inch pan with cooking spray, and wrap the sides with tinfoil if there are any cracks in the pan where water could get in.
In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and coconut sugar until combined. Add in the honey and eggs and beat just until mixed. I like to scrape down my beaters and beat once more here, to make sure there will be chunks in the bars.
Add the protein powder, cinnamon and salt into the bowl and stir until well mixed.
Pour the batter into the 8x8 inch pan and spread out evenly. Your batter will be thick.
Gently place the 8x8 into the 9x13 pan with the heated water, making sure to not splash any of the water into the batter. Bake until the top just feels set, about 22-25 minutes.
Gently remove the 8x8 pan from the 9x13 and cool on the counter for 10 minutes. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to overnight, to let the bars set.
DEVOUR.

Notes

Do not skip the water bath. These bars are the consistency of cheesecake and, if you don’t do the water bath, they will rise and sink when you take them out of the oven.
