Nutty Cheesecake Bars

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

1/2 c Whole wheat flour
2 tb Flaxseed meal
1/4 ts Grated nutmeg
1 tb Maple syrup
2 tb Chopped walnuts or pecans
2 tb Chopped sunflower seeds
1 c Yogurt cheese; (see Note)
1 lg Egg
3 tb Honey
1 tb Orange or apple juice
Fresh strawberries; sliced
-(optional)

MAKES 12 BARS OVO-LACTO

These cheesecake bars have a custard-like topping on a nut-crumb base. They
will be easier to handle if chilled after baking.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine flour, flaxseed meal
and nutmeg. Stir in maple syrup and then work together with your hands
until crumbly. Add chopped nuts and seeds. Press into the bottom of an
oiled 8-inch square baking pan. Bake 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix yogurt cheese, egg, honey and juice. Spread yogurt cheese
mixture over partially baked crust. Return to oven until surface is set and
just beginning to lightly color, about 25 minutes.

Remove to wire rack and cool to room temperature, then chill for at least
30 minutes before serving. If desired, place sliced strawberries over top
of cake.

Note: To make yogurt cheese, line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth or
coffee filter. Pour in 2 cups plain yogurt and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
The whey will drop through the strainer, leaving a mild sweet cheese. (Two
cups of yogurt will yield 1 cup yogurt cheese.)
