Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese
Fruit
- 1/4 cup strawberries, chopped
- Optional: additional strawberries for topping
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cream cheese. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and the cream cheese is incorporated.
- Add Strawberries: Fold in the chopped strawberries gently to distribute them throughout the oat mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours, allowing the oats to soak and absorb the flavors.
- Top and Serve: The next morning, give the oats a good stir to combine any separated ingredients. Top with additional fresh strawberries if desired and enjoy a creamy, flavorful breakfast straight from the fridge.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any dairy-free alternatives such as almond, soy, or oat milk to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by varying the honey or maple syrup quantity.
- The cream cheese adds a subtle cheesecake flavor; for a lighter version, you may reduce the amount or use a light cream cheese.
- Make a larger batch by multiplying the ingredients and storing servings in individual jars for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
