I’m about to drop a bomb, so get ready. YOU CAN HAVE CHEESECAKE FOR BREAKFAST.

I know. Sounds crazy right? But trust me, it’s totally allowed.

These breakfast cheesecakes are made with Greek yogurt, which we all know is super low in fat and high in protein. And they’re sweetened with nothing but pure, natural honey. The crust is granola: gently cinnamon-spiced and loaded with whole grain oats. And just look at that topping! It doesn’t get any better than fresh summer berries.

You can actually feel good about eating cheesecake for breakfast!

And feel good about feeding breakfast cheesecakes to your family too, because not only are they made with healthy, wholesome ingredients, but they make an awesome grab and go morning meal or snack. If your family is anything like mine, mornings can be crazy with everyone going off in different directions. Sometimes we barely have time for a decent meal. But you can make these sweet little minis ahead of time, and they’ll chill out in your fridge for just those kinds of moments.

On your next Target run, grab a tub of Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt for this recipe. It’s really thick and creamy, with just the right amount of tang to make your breakfast cheesecakes really shine.

And while you’re at it, try a jar of Smucker’s Fruit and Honey Spreads. You can use this special Cartwheel offer!

I used the Triple Berry flavor to top my breakfast cheesecakes, but really any flavor would make a perfect accent. They’re made with ripened fruit that’s naturally sweetened with honey, so these spreads are a lovely compliment to the sweet and floral honey flavors in the granola crust and yogurt cheesecake filling.

Here’s hoping your family will enjoy these breakfast cheesecakes as much as mine does!

Cheesecake for breakfast?  Absolutely- when it’s made with Greek yogurt, sweetened with honey, cradled in a granola crust, and topped with fresh berries!

Ingredients

For the crust

For the filling

  • 6 ounces (170.1 g) cream cheese, (the kind in a brick)
  • 3/4 cup (177.44 g) Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt
  • 1/3 cup (113 g) honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) Smucker's Fruit & Honey Triple Berry Fruit Spread
  • fresh raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries

Instructions
 

To make the crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly mist a mini cheesecake pan with non-stick spray.
  • Place all of the crust ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Divide the mixture equally between all 12 wells of the pan, pressing the crust down flat.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then top with filling.

To make the filling:

  • Turn the oven temperature down to 275 degrees F.
  • Place the cream cheese, Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt, honey, cornstarch, and salt in a large mixing bowl, and whip on medium speed with the whisk attachment.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula after each addition.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, and divide the mixture equally between all 12 wells of the pan.
  • Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, or until the sides of the mini cheesecakes are set, but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
  • Cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours before unmolding.
  • Top each mini cheesecake with about a teaspoon of Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Triple Berry Fruit Spread, and garnish with fresh raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
