Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
Cheesecake Mixture
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Topping (optional)
- 2 tbsp crushed graham crackers
- Extra fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Combine oats and chia seeds: Place the rolled oats and chia seeds into a mixing bowl or jar, ensuring an even distribution of the seeds for added texture and nutrition.
- Add almond milk: Pour in the almond milk and stir thoroughly until the oats are fully soaked and begin to soften.
- Prepare cheesecake mixture: In a separate small bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Mix cheesecake mixture with oats: Add the cream cheese mixture into the oat mixture and stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Fold in strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the oat mixture, taking care to not mash the fruit.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture into jars or containers with lids, cover securely, and refrigerate overnight or for at least six hours to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften fully.
- Add toppings and serve: Before serving, garnish with extra fresh strawberries for brightness and sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top to emulate a cheesecake crust texture. Enjoy chilled as a satisfying and wholesome breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with oat milk or dairy milk for a creamier texture.
- If you prefer sweeter oats, add extra honey or maple syrup in the morning before serving.
- Frozen strawberries work well when fresh ones are out of season.
- For added crunch, mix in nuts like almonds or pecans.
- Add a spoonful of strawberry jam or puree for a richer strawberry flavor if desired.
- This recipe is very adaptable and can be tailored to your personal taste preferences.
