- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon (if using). Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter mixture.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, using the back of a spoon or your fingers to create an even layer. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the mashed banana and diced strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the filling over the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet (to catch any potential drips) and bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour to cool gradually.
- Once cooled, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
- Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with additional diced strawberries and banana slices, and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
