Instructions
Line an 8-inch square pan or loaf tin with baking paper.In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, protein powder and sea salt.Add the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, coconut butter, vanilla and almond extract.Mix until a thick, soft dough forms. If it's too sticky, add a little more oat flour; if too dry, add another spoonful of yogurt.Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or freeze for 45 minutes until firm.
Protein Frosting
Beat together the frosting ingredients until smooth and creamy.Spread the frosting evenly over the chilled cake.Decorate generously with rainbow sprinkles.Chill for another 30 minutes before slicing into squares.Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.Blended Bites Tips 💡Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest filling.For an even firmer cheesecake-like texture, freeze for 20 minutes before serving.Swap almond flour for finely ground cashews if desired for an even creamier texture.If the mixture feels too soft, stir in a little extra oat flour or protein powder.Chill thoroughly before slicing to achieve clean squares.For the best flavor, let the cake sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.Use natural rainbow sprinkles if you would like to keep the recipe free from artificial colors.
