Berry Cheesecake Overnight Oats is made ahead with whole rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, with a maple Greek yogurt-cream-cheese mixture. Makes 5 jars.
Use a large mixing bowl and add the oats, chia seeds, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, and almond milk and whisk vigorously until smooth. Let thicken on the counter for 5-10 minutes. TIP: If the cream cheese is not soft, microwave it for about 10 seconds to soften.
Mash berries:
If using frozen blueberries, defrost them in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Remove and mash with a fork until jam-like in texture. Otherwise, mash fresh berries the same way with a fork.
Make individual servings:
In 5 small jars or small bowls, evenly distribute the oat mixture. Add the mashed blueberries on top.
Seal the jars with a lid or cover tightly with plastic wrap. Put the jars in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Add additional toppings before serving and enjoy.
Optional to serve cold or you can reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Don’t over-heat.
Enjoy!
Notes
Topping ideas: Frozen or fresh berries Granola Cereal Sliced bananas Chopped nuts Drizzled peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter or honey Chocolate chips Crumbled graham cracker: This is optional, but crumbling some graham cracker over the top of these oats takes them to the next level. To make even higher protein, add 1/2-1 scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder.
