Want an easy, healthier cheesecake? This is it! I love sneaking in healthy fats and protein for dessert. Who doesn’t love cheesecake, but it can be a heavy dish. I wanted to whip up a quick, easy, healthier dessert and this hit the spot!
This is a smaller recipe so it’s best to bake in a loaf pan. Double the recipe to fit into a cake pan if desired. This recipe still makes about 4-6 slices so it’s great to meal prep for the week.
Easy, Healthy Cheesecake
Crust:
-1/2 cup gluten free oats
-1/2 cup tigernut, almond, or oat flour
-2 tbs. softened coconut oil
-2 tbs. maple syrup
Cheesecake:
-1 cup yogurt of choice (I used Oatly dairy-free)
-2 eggs
-2 scoops of pea protein (Nuzest or Sprout Living are my favorites)
-2-4 tbs maple syrup
-Pinch of salt
-1 tsp. vanilla extract
-1 heaping cup frozen fruit of choice
Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix all crust ingredients together then press into the bottom of a parchment lined loaf pan and set aside.
For the filling, whip or blend all filling ingredients except for the fruit together in a bowl. Use more maple syrup as desired for sweetness.
Sprinkle your fruit over the crust then pour your filling overtop.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until cheesecake has set.
Let cool completely then place in the fridge to fully set.
Enjoy!
