Bone Health Cheesecake
Background
This bone health cheesecake is a simple, nourishing bake designed to support bone strength, with a good balance of protein, calcium, fibre, and naturally occurring boron from the prunes or dates. Per mini cheesecake, you’re getting roughly 20g protein, 200mg calcium, 7g fibre, and about 1mg boron—making it a genuinely balanced option for breakfast or a snack. The natural sweetness from the fruit means there’s no need for added sugar.
It’s easy to make and works well as a make-ahead option - bake two, enjoy one fresh, and keep the other in the fridge for the next day. You can eat it cold or warm it slightly before serving. For a lower-carb version, swap some or all of the oats for ground almonds.
Serve with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt if you want an extra boost of protein and creaminess.
Ingredients
- 150g cottage cheese
- 2 Tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 1 egg
- 6 Tbsp porridge oats (or half oats, half ground almonds)
- 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 Tbsp flax seeds
- 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon (optional) or 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 prunes or dates, chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the egg, then stir in the oats.(For a smoother texture, you can blend this mixture until creamy.)
- Add the flax seeds, poppy seeds, cinnamon or lemon zest (if using), and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the chopped prunes or dates.
- Divide the mixture between two small silicone cake moulds.
- Bake at 180°C (oven or air fryer) for about 15 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm or cold, on its own or with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
