The butter-less crust of these cheesecakes is made with oats and graham flour, and instead of cream cheese, the filling is made from a blend of lima beans, coconut oil, konjac (used as a substitute for gelatin) and agave syrup. Believe me when I say this, this cheesecake tastes as good as a regular cheesecake and you won’t be able to tell the difference between the two unless you know about it.
