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)
Flavor Ingredients
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for added fiber and texture)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl or a jar, mix the rolled oats and chia seeds (if using) to create the base of your overnight oats.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon (if using), and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Combine and Stir: Pour the wet mixture over the oats and chia seed mixture. Stir well to ensure all the oats are coated and the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in 1/4 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Top with extra fresh blueberries for garnish and enjoy your creamy blueberry cheesecake overnight oats cold.
Notes
- Use vanilla Greek yogurt for extra sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Can substitute cream cheese with a vegan alternative to make it dairy-free.
- Use almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Chia seeds add fiber and help thicken the oats but can be omitted if preferred.
- For added crunch, top with nuts or granola before serving.
