Description

Start your day with this Healthy Breakfast Cheesecake made with Greek yogurt, cream cheese, oats, and fresh berries. It’s naturally sweetened, packed with protein, and perfect for breakfast, meal prep, or a wholesome snack.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

Filling

  • 8 oz (225 g) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Topping

  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries
  • Fresh mint, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust and filling.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a bowl, mix the rolled oats, melted coconut oil, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 8-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to set it before adding the filling.
  4. Make Filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, remaining 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble Cheesecake: Pour the prepared filling evenly over the baked crust, spreading it carefully.
  6. Bake Cheesecake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is just set but not fully firm.
  7. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up and flavors to meld.
  8. Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top the chilled cheesecake with mixed fresh berries and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Notes

  • Add chia seeds or flaxseed to the crust or filling for extra fiber and nutritional benefits.
  • Use low-fat cream cheese to reduce calories while keeping the cheesecake creamy.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
