Bone Health Cheesecake

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.
