Ingredients
Scale
Base
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Fruit and Toppings
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tbsp crushed graham crackers
- 1 tsp chopped nuts (almonds or pecans)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add strawberries: Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries, distributing them evenly without crushing.
- Portion mixture: Divide the oat mixture evenly into mason jars or airtight containers for individual servings.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts over the oat mixture on top of each jar or container.
- Refrigerate: Cover the containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Before serving, stir the oats to combine the layers. Optionally, top with extra strawberries, a drizzle of honey, or more graham cracker crumbs.
- Enjoy: Eat the oats cold straight from the fridge or warm them slightly if preferred.
Notes
- Use your choice of milk—dairy or plant-based (almond, oat, soy) works well.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives and use maple syrup.
- The cream cheese should be softened to blend smoothly into the mixture.
- Allowing the oats to soak overnight yields the best texture.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or syrup if desired.
- Optionally, add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and nutrition.
- Store leftover overnight oats covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
