A quick and easy healthy breakfast featuring creamy overnight oats layered with a tangy cheesecake mixture and fresh strawberries, perfect for meal prep and indulgent mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (whole milk preferred, almond or oat milk optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) softened cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers or granola (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a larger bowl, stir together rolled oats, milk, and chia seeds (if using) until evenly mixed.
  3. Layer the jar starting with about one-third of the oats mixture, then a tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture, followed by chopped strawberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest if using. Repeat layers until the jar is full, ending with strawberries on top.
  4. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or granola on top for crunch.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.
  6. In the morning, stir gently before eating or enjoy the layered texture. For thicker or colder oats, refrigerate longer.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing for smooth texture. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best soak and bite. Layering ingredients creates distinct textures. Adjust sweetness to taste. Chia seeds add thickness and fiber. Store jars in fridge up to 4 days. For dairy-free, substitute coconut yogurt, almond milk, and dairy-free cream cheese. Add toppings just before serving to keep crunch.
