Instructions

Start by lining an 8-inch or 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
In a food processor, pulse the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and brown sugar, and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then, add the yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt, and continue beating until the mixture is fully combined and fluffy.
Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula to even it out.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing it to set properly.
Before serving, top with more Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar if desired.
Slice and enjoy chilled!
