- 1 cup rolled oats - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice) - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or strawberry flavored) - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened - 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey) - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional) - Crushed graham crackers for topping I love using simple yet delicious ingredients for my strawberry cheesecake overnight oats. The rolled oats give a great base. They soak up the almond milk, making them soft. Use any milk you prefer. I often go for almond milk, but cow's milk works too. The Greek yogurt adds creaminess. It gives a nice tang that reminds me of cheesecake. You can use plain or strawberry-flavored yogurt. Both taste great in this recipe. Next, we have cream cheese. It really makes this dish feel like cheesecake. Make sure it's softened so it mixes well. Maple syrup or honey adds sweetness. I prefer maple syrup for its rich flavor. Don’t forget a touch of vanilla extract for warmth. For toppings, fresh strawberries are a must. They brighten the dish and add freshness. If you want a fun twist, add chia seeds. They give a nice crunch and boost nutrition. Lastly, crushed graham crackers make a great topping. They add that classic cheesecake crust feel. These ingredients come together beautifully. They create a quick breakfast or snack that’s tasty and satisfying. In a mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients: - 1 cup rolled oats - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice) - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or strawberry flavored) - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened - 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey) - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Stir well until all ingredients mix together. Make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese left. It should look smooth and creamy. If you want more texture, mix in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. Chia seeds add a nice crunch and boost the nutrition. They also help make the oats thicker as they soak. Now, gently fold in 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries. Be careful not to mash them. We want the strawberries to stay whole for great bites. After folding, divide the mixture into two serving jars or bowls. Seal the jars tightly with lids or cover with plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator overnight. This lets the oats soak up the flavors. In the morning, stir the oats to combine any layers that may have separated. If you want, adjust the sweetness with more syrup. Before serving, sprinkle some crushed graham crackers on top. This adds a nice crunch that feels like cheesecake crust. Add extra fresh strawberries for a pretty finish. To get the best texture, mix well. Make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese. If the mixture seems too thick, add more almond milk. This will help achieve the creaminess you want. Serve your oats in glass jars. This lets everyone see the beautiful layers. Top with extra strawberries and a spoonful of Greek yogurt. It makes the dish look even more appealing. Before you serve, taste your oats. If they are too tart, add more maple syrup. A little sweetness can make a big difference in flavor. This way, everyone will enjoy their breakfast! {{image_2}} You can change the flavors in your overnight oats. Using flavored Greek yogurt is a great way to start. Try vanilla or blueberry yogurt for a twist. This small change adds a new taste without much effort. You can also mix in some cocoa powder for a chocolate version. The options are endless! Want to make your oats healthier? Swap cream cheese for a dairy-free option like cashew cheese. You can also use lower-calorie sweeteners instead of maple syrup. This helps cut sugar while keeping the taste. If you want a creamier texture, use coconut yogurt. These changes keep the dish tasty and fit your needs. Feel free to change up the fruit based on the season. In summer, try using blueberries or raspberries. In fall, add sliced apples or pears. This keeps your breakfast fresh and exciting. You can even add spices like cinnamon for extra flavor. Enjoying seasonal fruits makes your meal more vibrant and fun! You can store your strawberry cheesecake overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes them perfect for meal prep. Just seal the jars tightly to keep them fresh. You want to avoid any air getting in. Freezing overnight oats is possible, but it may change the texture. When you thaw them, they can become a bit mushy. If you want a smooth bite, I suggest only refrigerating them. Enjoy them fresh for the best taste and feel. Make a batch of these oats to last throughout the week. This way, you can have quick breakfasts ready at any time. Simply divide the mixture into jars. Each morning, grab a jar and enjoy a tasty meal on the go. You can use quick oats, but the texture will change. Quick oats are finer and absorb liquid faster. This means they will turn soft more quickly than rolled oats. If you use quick oats, cut the soaking time to about 2-3 hours. They might not give you that classic oat chewiness you want for overnight oats. You can store your overnight oats for up to 3 days in the fridge. Look out for signs of spoilage. If you see any mold or a strange smell, it's best to toss it. As the days go by, the oats may become mushy, so try to eat them fresh for the best taste. Yes, you can make this recipe vegan easily! Substitute the Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt.
