Raspberry Cheesecake Oatmeal

Warm oatmeal swirled with fresh raspberries and the most delicious cheesecake filling, making you feel like you’re eating dessert for breakfast!

Happy Friday everyone! It’s an extra happy Friday for me because I am currently in Austin visiting my sister and having a blast! It’s been far too long since my last visit. If you haven’t visited Austin add it to your list. They have have such an amazing food and music scene, plenty of places for running and hiking, BBQ that will blow your mind, breakfast tacos..oh the breakfast tacos I can’t get enough, and so much more! I’ll be sure to share more of the details with you when I get back. Until then I’ve made you a delicious bowl of Raspberry Cheesecake Oatmeal that you are going to want to make for breakfast tomorrow!

I’m a little sad that berry season has almost come to an end. I’ll miss their beautiful colors and that mouthful of sweet berry juice you get with every bite. That’s not to say that I’m not excited to start unleashing pumpkin and apple recipes galore on you, but berries hold a special place in my heart and stomach.

The raspberries at our grocery store were on sale last week for just over $1.00 a box, so of course I had to stock up. I froze half of them, then about a million recipes ran through my head on what to do with the rest. Since fall is approaching I thought you guys might like a nice warm oatmeal recipe. If you freeze your fresh raspberries now you can make this raspberry cheesecake oatmeal all winter!

I cooked the oatmeal on the stove in a mixture of half almond milk and half water. If you are in a hurry the microwave works just as well, just make sure you cook it in a big enough bowl so it doesn’t boil over and leave you with a huge mess. Once the oatmeal was cooked I added in maple syrup and vanilla extract then gently mixed in some mashed raspberries. The final part is the cheesecake filling which is a combination of low fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. The cheesecake gets swirled into the oatmeal with a little extra left over for drizzling on top. Finish off the oatmeal with a few more fresh raspberries and you have yourself a healthy and filling dessert inspired breakfast!
