I know strawberry season is over but I couldn’t help but rustle these lil beauties up after being gifted The Great British Porridge Co natural instant oats.
You can find this tasty convenient good for ya porridge in Sainsburys, I had my eye straight on the strawberry and peanut butter flavour, which went perfect as the crust for the strawberry coulis and vanilla bean cream cheese filling. Who wants a bite…
These are so quick n simple to knock up, and being vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free you can have your cheesecake and eat it (for breakfast and all)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160c
- Bung all crust ingredients in a bowl and mix thoughouroully for around a minute till some of the starchness comes out the oats (this helps bind the crust together)
- Add 4 tbsps to each cupcake hole, press down on the bottom and edges till the crust is formed (it's slightly easier when the mix has had time to cool/harden up a lil)
- Whack in the oven on the middle shelf for 20 mins. Take out and let cool for 5 mins before transfering them to a cooling rack.
- While their in the oven crack on with the cheesecake layer. In a bowl, add the cream cheese and whisk till softened and smooth, add in the rest of the ingredients and whisk again. Adjust amount of vanilla and sweetness depending on your preference.
- Now for the coulis. Bung the strawberries and maple syrup in a blender, blitz till smooth.
- Pour into a small saucepan and reduce by half. Taste and adjust sweetness (strawberries vary)
- Assembly time. Add a good dollop of the strawberry coulis, then cream cheese. If you want the ripple effect; dot a few blobs on top and swirl with a fork.
- Best eaten chilled for a few hours, but still delish eaten straight away!
