Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond milk)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Cheesecake Flavor
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
Fruit and Extras
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for added fiber and texture)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and milk. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and the oats are evenly coated with the liquids.
- Add Sweeteners and Flavorings: Mix in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon if using. These add subtle sweetness and warming aromatics to enhance the overall flavor.
- Incorporate Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature, then blend it thoroughly into the oat mixture. This step gives the oats a rich, cheesecake-like creaminess that’s essential for the dessert-like texture.
- Add Blueberries and Chia Seeds: Fold in the blueberries and chia seeds gently to evenly distribute them without breaking the fruit, providing fruity bursts and added nutrients.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquids and soften, creating a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: Before eating, stir the overnight oats and top with extra fresh blueberries for a fresh finish. Enjoy cold for a refreshing, healthy breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk according to dietary preference, such as almond, soy, or cow’s milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by omitting or increasing honey or maple syrup based on taste.
- Chia seeds are optional but provide extra fiber and help thicken the oats.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
