Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups whole rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Dairy & Dairy Alternatives
- 1/3 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 cups almond milk
Sweeteners & Flavorings
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit
- 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Whisk Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, softened cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Allow the mixture to thicken by letting it rest on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Mash Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Then mash the blueberries with a fork until they reach a jam-like consistency.
- Layer Mixture: Evenly divide the oat mixture into five jars. Layer the mashed or fresh blueberries on top of the oats in each jar. Alternatively, you can mix the blueberries directly into the oat mixture if you prefer a blended flavor rather than layered.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jars with lids or cover tightly with plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator and let the oats soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the oats to soften.
- Serve and Enjoy: After soaking, your blueberry cheesecake overnight oats are ready to enjoy. You can eat them cold straight from the fridge or warm them for about 30 seconds in the microwave before serving. Add any extra toppings as desired.
Notes
- Softened cream cheese ensures easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Using frozen blueberries requires heating and mashing for better layering, but fresh blueberries can be layered whole.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free recipe.
- Overnight soaking improves the texture and digestibility of the oats.
- Adjust the amount of almond milk based on your desired consistency.
- Toppings like nuts, seeds, or additional fresh fruit can enhance flavor and texture.
