Ingredients
For the Filling
  • 2 cups non-fat greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp flour (gluten-free all purpose or regular flour)
  • ½ cup stevia baking formula (I used Krisda or dry sweetener of choice)
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tsp rum extract
  • ¼ cup eggnog (I used So Delicious Coconut Nog)
For the Crust
  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs (I used Kinnikinnick gluten-free graham crumbs)
  • 3 Tbsp chia seeds (or ground flax)
  • ½ cup whey protein, vanilla (I used Whey Gourmet)
  • 5 Tbsp butter, melted (could also use coconut oil)
  • 40 drops stevia, vanilla *optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Spray and 8x8 or 9x9 pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl (or blender or food processor), mix together all the filling ingredients and mix just until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together all the crust ingredients with a fork (add melted butter last) until combined.
  4. Press the crust evenly into the 8x8 pan.
  5. Pour the filling over the crust and spread out to cover evenly.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until it just becomes golden around the edges and its all set.
  7. Allow to cool at room temp, then place in the fridge to cool for at least a few hours.
  8. Cut into 16 squares. Keep stored in the fridge.
