I got an inspiration to make cheesecake the other day! I browsed online for all kinds of recipes, and ended up making my own blend for it. Lately I've tried to cut some carbs off of my diet, but purely for Diabetes' sake. My blood sugar levels have been so crazy that a small carb detox was more than needed. So I've had to replace the carbs with some extra protein and cover the calorie deficit somehow, and these little cakes are the perfect booster for that! I for one much rather eat these lovely little delicious cakes than stuff my face with chicken and broccoli night n day ;)
Actually the idea for these cakes came from 2 oaty snack bars I had brought from Finland. They had crumbled in my bag, but I didn't want to throw them away because #finland and #elovena (anything and everything with oats, google them!). So then I realized they are the perfect base for my cheesecakes! You can use any kind of crumbly cookies or bars, this is where you get creative!
I used small muffin silicone molds for the cakes and got altogether 12 little cheesecakes.
Happy baking!

Clean Little Blueberry Cheesecakes (12 small cakes)

2 Crumbly snack bars or cookies2 T Coconut oil or butter (room temperature / soft)
Filling
120 gr Low fat or fat free cream cheese (I used Philadelphia 3%)200 gr Fat free greek style yoghurt
25 gr Honey (or maple, agave etc)
1 Egg
2 tsp Vanilla essence
Blueberry layer
200 gr Blueberries1 Lemon zest + juice
2 T Water
Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees.
- Crumble the cokkies/bars in a bowl. Mix coconut oil or butter with fingers until thoroughly mixed.
- Mix all filling ingredients together and mix with an electric mixer until fluffy.
- Press the crumble into the muffin tins.
- Spoon the filling over the crumble.
- Bake in 175 degrees for about 25min. The filling can be a little bit wobbly when taking out. P
- Let the cakes cool down. place them in the fridge for more cooling.
- While the cakes are in the fridge make the blueberry jam.
- place all jam ingredients in a small saucepan. Let simmer for about 10min until the berries are falling apart. NB! I used frozen berries so it took nearly double time.
- Let the jam cool down a little bit before spooning it over the cakes.
- Cool down the cakes for few more minutes, or just get eating straight away! The cheesecakes are at their best after chilling in the fridge for a few hours.
