Combine one cup of rolled oats, one cup of milk, and half a cup of Greek yogurt. Then, add one tablespoon of softened cream cheese. This gives the oats a rich taste. Next, stir in two tablespoons of maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Don't forget half a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Finally, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Mix it well until everything is creamy and smooth. Now, take half a cup of fresh strawberries. Make sure to hull and slice them nicely. Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the oat mixture. This step is key for making sure each bite has a burst of strawberry flavor. You want the strawberries to be evenly spread throughout the mixture. Once your mixture is ready, it's time to store it. Portion the oat mix into two or three jars. Seal them tightly with their lids. This keeps the oats fresh. Place the jars in the refrigerator. Let them rest overnight, or for at least six hours. This soaking time helps the oats absorb the liquid and become soft. When morning comes, give the oats a good stir. Top with more sliced strawberries and some crushed graham crackers if you like.

It adds thickness and creaminess. Mixing softened cream cheese into the oats also helps. This step makes the oats rich and indulgent. Stir all the ingredients well. If you notice lumps, blend them out. The oats will soak up liquid and soften overnight, creating a delightful treat. Strawberries shine in this recipe, but you can mix in other flavors. Try adding a dash of cinnamon for warmth. A bit of lemon zest can lift the taste too. Pairing strawberries with vanilla extract enhances their sweetness. If you like a touch of tartness, add some fresh raspberries. These combinations keep breakfast exciting and flavorful. For a healthier version of your overnight oats, use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk. You can reduce maple syrup or honey to lower sugar. Use a natural sweetener like mashed banana for added flavor. Add chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s. They will also thicken the mixture and boost nutrition. These changes make your breakfast tasty and nourishing without losing the joy of this delightful treat. {{image_4}} To make vegan strawberry cheesecake overnight oats, swap the Greek yogurt and cream cheese for plant-based options.
