Difficulty

Easy

Cooking Vessel

  • Nonstick skillet or griddle

  • Mixing bowl

  • Whisk

  • Measuring cups & spoons

  • Spatula


Ingredients (Kosher Certified)

  • 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground kosher oats)

  • 1 scoop (about ¼ cup) kosher-certified vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (kosher-certified)

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and almond butter until smooth.

3. Form Batter

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; batter should be thick but pourable.
If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons milk.

4. Heat Cooking Surface

Preheat a lightly greased nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Surface temperature should be about 350°F (175°C).

5. Cook Pancakes

Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake.

Nutritional Information (Approximate per Serving – 2 Pancakes)

  • Calories: 310

  • Protein: 22g

  • Fat: 14g

  • Saturated Fat: 3g

  • Carbohydrates: 26g

  • Fiber: 3g

  • Sugar: 6g

  • Sodium: 290mg

Values vary depending on protein powder and milk selection.


Dietary Adaptations

  • Gluten-Free: Ensure oats are certified gluten-free.

  • Dairy-Free: Use plant-based protein powder and almond milk.

  • Lower Carb: Replace oat flour with ½ cup almond flour + ¼ cup coconut flour.

  • Sugar-Free: Omit maple syrup; sweeten with stevia or monk fruit.

  • Passover-Friendly Option: Substitute oat flour with finely ground kosher-for-Passover almond flour and verify protein powder certification.


Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Burning Exterior / Raw Interior? Lower heat slightly and extend cook time.

  • Flat Texture? Ensure baking powder is fresh (replace every 6 months).

  • Serve with Greek yogurt and blueberries for a 30g+ protein breakfast.

  • Spread warm pancakes with almond butter and a sprinkle of flaky salt.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1½ cups kosher graham cracker crumbs (or kosher vanilla cookie crumbs)

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (certified kosher dairy)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz (3 blocks) full-fat cream cheese, softened (kosher certified)

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 3 large eggs (kosher)

  • ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk (well shaken; kosher certified)

  • ½ cup crushed pineapple, well drained (excess liquid removed)

  • 1 tablespoon lime zest

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (kosher certified)

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Tropical Topping (Optional but Recommended)

  • 1 cup diced fresh mango

  • ½ cup diced pineapple

  • 2 tablespoons toasted shredded coconut

  • 2 tablespoons apricot preserves (kosher certified), warmed


Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent water seepage.

2. Make the Crust

  1. Combine crumbs and sugar in a bowl.

  2. Stir in melted butter until evenly moistened.

  3. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

  4. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Cool slightly.

3. Prepare the Filling

  1. Beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth (2–3 minutes).

  2. Gradually add sugar; mix until incorporated.

  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition.

  4. Blend in coconut milk, pineapple, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla, and cornstarch.

  5. Mix just until smooth—avoid overbeating (prevents cracking).

4. Bake in a Water Bath

  1. Pour filling over crust.

  2. Place springform pan inside a large roasting pan.

  3. Add hot water to the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.

  4. Bake 65–75 minutes, until edges are set but center still slightly jiggly.

5. Controlled Cooling

  1. Turn oven off; crack door open slightly.

  2. Let cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour (prevents sudden temperature shock).

  3. Remove and cool to room temperature.

  4. Refrigerate at least 4–6 hours (preferably overnight).

6. Add Topping

Brush warmed apricot preserves lightly over fruit. Arrange mango and pineapple on cheesecake and sprinkle with toasted coconut before serving.


Nutritional Information (Approximate Per Slice)

  • Calories: 420

  • Protein: 7g

  • Fat: 30g

  • Saturated Fat: 18g

  • Carbohydrates: 32g

  • Sugar: 24g

  • Fiber: 1g

  • Sodium: 280mg

(Values will vary depending on brands and portion size.)


Dietary Adaptations

  • Gluten-Free: Use certified gluten-free cookies for crust.

  • Lower Sugar: Reduce sugar by ¼ cup and use unsweetened coconut milk.

  • Dairy-Free (Pareve): Substitute dairy-free cream cheese and vegan butter alternatives certified kosher pareve. Texture will be slightly softer.

  • Passover-Friendly Option: Use ground kosher-for-Passover cookies or finely ground nuts instead of graham crackers.


Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Cracks on Top: Usually caused by overmixing or skipping the water bath. Minor cracks can be covered with fruit topping.

  • Soggy Crust: Ensure pineapple is very well drained and foil wrapping is tight.

  • Dense Texture: All ingredients must be room temperature before mixing.

  • Overbrowning: Tent loosely with foil during last 15 minutes if needed.

  • Clean Slices: Dip knife in hot water and wipe clean between cuts.


Serving Suggestions

  • Serve chilled with additional lime zest for brightness.

  • Pair with fresh passion fruit drizzle for acidity contrast.

  • Serve alongside tropical fruit salad or coconut sorbet.

  • Garnish with mint leaves for visual contrast.


Notes

  • Always verify reliable kosher certification (OU, OK, Star-K, etc.) on dairy, coconut milk, preserves, and vanilla extract.

  • Store refrigerated up to 5 days.

  • Freezes well (without fruit topping) for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in refrigerator.

  • Carbohydrates: 30–35 g

  • Sugar: 22–26 g

  • Serve chilled but allow 15–20 minutes at room temperature for optimal texture.


Notes

  • This is a kosher dairy (chalav) dessert; serve after a dairy meal and not with meat.

  • Always verify kosher certification for processed ingredients (cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, graham crackers).

  • For Shavuot or other dairy-focused occasions, this recipe adapts beautifully to themed toppings.
