03 - 1 cup cottage cheese
04 - 1/3 cup unsweetened plain Greek yogurt

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with 8 muffin liners.
02 - Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a small bowl until combined. Evenly press the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form a crust.
03 - In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, maple syrup, egg, baking powder, and protein powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
04 - Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin.
05 - Bake for 38 to 41 minutes, or until the centers are just set and barely jiggle. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
06 - Place frozen strawberries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and become saucy, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
07 - Once the cheesecake bites have cooled, spoon the strawberry sauce over each one.
08 - Refrigerate the cheesecake bites overnight, or at least 4 hours, before serving for best texture and flavor.
