Ingredients
For the Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam:
- 2 cups strawberries, chopped
- 1/4-1/2 cup sugar (I use Lakanto)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (about the juice from 1 lemon)
- OPTIONAL - Chia seeds if mixture is too loose
*Not all the jam is necessary for these muffins. You will only need about 1/2 cup for the muffins*
For the Graham Cracker Crust:
- 5 tbsp butter, softened
- 1/2 cup coconut flour (or almond flour)
- 4 tbsp brown sugar (I use Lakanto Golden)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp strawberry jam
For the Strawberry Cheesecake:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 oz 0% plain Greek Yogurt (I use Siggi's Icelandic)
- 3 oz white chocolate, melted (I use Bake Believe which is sugar-free)
- 1 tbsp coconut flour (or almond flour)
- 2 egg whites (about 1/4 cup liquid egg whites)
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
For the Strawberry Jam:
- Prepare the jam by placing the strawberries in a small saucepan.
- Add 2 tbsp of water and 1 tbsp of lemon juice
- Bring to a boil and then turn the heat to medium and let it simmer for around 15 minutes.
- Mash with a potato masher or blend the strawberries in a high-speed blender
- Taste the jam and if it is not sweet enough, add additional sweetener
- Remove the jam from the heat. Once cooled, place the jam in the fridge to firm
Making the Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line 12 muffin tins and set aside
- In a medium-size bowl, add all the crust ingredients and stir until combined. Press approximately 1 tbsp of mixture into each muffin well to form the base. Set aside.
- In the same bowl, cream the cheesecake ingredients. Add 2 tbsp of mixture to each well. Add 1-2 tsp of jam and then add another layer of cheesecake mixture to all the muffins.
- Top each muffin with 1-2 tsp of jam and using a chopstick or wooden skewer, swirl the strawberry jam into the cheesecake mixture.
- Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
