Ingredients
Scale
Oats Mixture
- 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)
Cheesecake Mixture
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
Fruit and Seeds
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for added fiber and texture)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature or microwaving briefly if needed. Then, incorporate the cream cheese into the oat mixture by thoroughly mixing until smooth and creamy. This gives the oats a rich, cheesecake-like texture.
- Mix in Blueberries and Chia Seeds: Gently fold in fresh or frozen blueberries along with chia seeds if using. These add natural sweetness, antioxidants, and a pleasant texture to the oats.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight, or for at least 5 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors fully.
- Serve: Before eating, stir the oats well. Add extra fresh blueberries or a drizzle of honey on top as garnish if desired. Enjoy cold for a nutritious, convenient breakfast or snack.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based yogurt and milk alternatives such as almond or oat milk.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, increase the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your preference.
- Chia seeds are optional but recommended for added fiber and healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
- Ensure the cream cheese is well softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled and stored in multiple jars for meal prepping.
- Use either fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, no need to thaw before mixing.
