Notes

NO BAKE COOKIE CRUST
  •    120g Cookies or Crackers
  •    30g Grass Fed Butter
  1. Add cookies to your blender and pulse into crumbs. Alternatively, you can crush them with a rolling pin.
  2. Add to a bowl along with the melted butter and mix to combine.
  3. Press the mixture into your muffin tray, pressing down and up the sides.
  4. Place in the fridge to set.
 
**You can make your own oat flour by pulsing whole oats in a blender or food processor or you can use shop-bought oat flour.
*** I use Vanilla Cinnamon Whey Protein, please read blog post contents to learn more about how different protein powders work.
 
 
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your cheesecakes will come out perfectly.
