4 Ingredient Banana Greek Yogurt Cheesecake
This 4 ingredient banana Greek yogurt cheesecake is not only delicious and easy to make but its on the healthier side!
Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas, ripe + mashed
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
- pinch salt
Optional Add ins:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
'Caramel' Topping:
- 2 tbs coconut oil
- 2 tbs maple syrup
- 1 tbs peanut butter
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a small 6 inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add in your bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, tapioca, salt and mix together until incorporated. Transfer batter to cake pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.
Caramel Topping:
- In a small pan over medium heat, add in coconut oil, maple syrup, peanut butter, salt and mix together until combined and smooth – a few minutes. Please note that the sauce will be drippy at first but once you take it off the heat, give it 15-20 minutes to thicken up and resemble a more caramel texture.

Hello Stella!
You have arrowroot or can use cornstarch in the list of ingredients, but in the second step of the instructions you say to add tapioca. I am not a baker but would like to try to make your cheesecake to take to our potluck at church and the only tapioca I know of is pudding, which I love!
Hi Tammy, sorry about the confusion with that!
So when I use arrowroot powder, it is always substitutable with cornstarch, tapioca flour or all purpose flour.
You care going to love this cake!
Thank you so much, Stella. I appreciate you taking time to clarify that for me (still waiting, 5 mos.-1 yr., to hear from other cooks). I now know that those are all interchangeable just in case I don’t have one of those on hand. 😃🥰
Is there anything else other than peanut butter I can use?
Hi Penny, almond butter, sunflower seed butter, pistachio butter!
