Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
- 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons (30g) softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (75g) fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 1/4 cup (30g) crushed graham crackers
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes or microwave for 10 seconds without melting.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in rolled oats and a pinch of salt until all oats are coated with the creamy mixture.
- Chop fresh strawberries into bite-size pieces; optionally mash half to release juices.
- Fold chopped and mashed strawberries gently into the oat mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into a jar or container, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
- Before serving, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top for crunch.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a light dusting of lemon zest.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt for best creaminess. Add graham cracker crumble just before serving to keep it crunchy. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk; if too thin, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. Store leftovers up to 3 days refrigerated.
