Oreo Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Bars
Ok. All I wanted was peanut butter. And cheesecake. Because it’s no secret how much of a cheesecake addict I am.
And then, out shopping, I happened to walk smack bang into the Oreo isle. Only, there was one problemo. Today, Australia decided to stock Peanut Butter Cup Oreos. Oh dear. So, no what?
Well? There was only one thing to do. I had to think of my children. Yes, that’s what happened! They would love Oreos baked into cheesecake.
Ingredients
- 350 g low fat cream cheese
- 150 g light Ricotta
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
- 1/2 cup natural sweetener/sugar of choice
- 3 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 crushed Peanut Butter Cup Oreos
Instructions
- Preheat oven 180C | 356F. Grease a 8-inch square cake pan. Set aside.
- Combine the cream cheese, ricotta, egg, egg whites, sweetener/sugar, flour and vanilla in a bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on low speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in crushed Oreos.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake in the oven for 40 minutes, or until set in the centre.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into 16 bars!

OMG, these look sinfully delish!
I started Weight Watchers in January 2013 leading up to my April 2014 wedding. I am happy to report that I have lost 35lbs and am working hard at maintaining my new weight. Now that the wedding is over, I’m less inspired, but I keep reminding myself that I want to be healthy. I also remind myself of how hard I worked to take it off. To keep things interesting and to keep me inspired, I have started my own blog: http://sweetseatstreats.wordpress.com/
I try to post mostly WW-friendly recipes, but sometimes a few bad ones sneak in there 🙂

Great recipe – I would only change one thing and used the Oreos that are covered with white chocolate, because I love them! 🙂
