Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping
- Fresh blueberries
- Graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Combine Bases: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and softened cream cheese. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
- Add Flavors and Seeds: Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds if using, and ground cinnamon. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to avoid crushing them, which keeps the berries intact for a better texture and visual appeal.
- Portion the Mixture: Divide the oat mixture evenly into two mason jars or airtight containers to create individual servings.
- Chill Overnight: Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and the flavors to meld wonderfully.
- Serve with Toppings: When ready to eat, remove the jars from the fridge and stir the oats. Top with additional fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs to enhance the cheesecake flavor.
Notes
- For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- To reduce sugar content, adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey or omit it altogether.
- Chia seeds are optional but add a boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
- The cream cheese should be softened to ensure it blends smoothly without lumps.
- This recipe can be prepared in batch and stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.
