Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 tbsp graham crackers (crushed)
  • 1 tsp milk

Oat Mixture

  • 1/2 cup oats (quick, minute, or rolled)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cheesecake Topping

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp light cream cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup berries (any combination of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or mixed berries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with 1 teaspoon of milk until the mixture is slightly moist and can hold together when pressed.
  2. Make the oat mixture: In a separate bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder (if using), cinnamon, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are incorporated.
  3. Mix the cheesecake topping: In a third bowl, blend the Greek yogurt, honey, and light cream cheese (if using) until smooth and creamy for a rich cheesecake flavor.
  4. Assemble the overnight oats: Press the graham cracker crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a mason jar or container to form a solid base.
  5. Layer the oats: Spoon the oat mixture over the crust layer evenly.
  6. Add the cheesecake topping: Spoon the creamy cheesecake mixture over the oat layer, smoothing the surface.
  7. Add berries and optional crumble: Top with fresh berries and sprinkle additional crushed graham crackers if desired for extra texture.
  8. Chill overnight: Cover the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight (at least 6 hours or preferably 8-10 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.
  9. Serve: In the morning, stir gently if desired, and enjoy your Berry Cheesecake Overnight Oats chilled for a quick, nutritious breakfast.

Notes

  • Use quick, minute, or rolled oats depending on your texture preference; rolled oats will give a chewier result while quick oats soften faster.
  • Light cream cheese is optional but adds a creamier, cheesecake-like consistency.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using a sugar substitute if preferred.
  • Try different berry combinations to keep the recipe exciting and seasonal.
  • Protein powder is optional and can be omitted or substituted to suit dietary needs.
