Ingredients

For the Crust:

2 graham crackers, crushed

1 teaspoon milk of choice

For the Oats:

½ cup oats (quick, minute, or rolled)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder (optional)

½ cup milk of choice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ tablespoon lemon zest (about half of one medium lemon)

For the Cheesecake Topping:

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon honey

1 tablespoon light cream cheese (optional)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (about half of one medium lemon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the layers: In three separate bowls, combine the ingredients for each layer. For the crust: Crush graham crackers and mix with 1 teaspoon milk. For the oats: Combine oats, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. For the cheesecake topping: Mix Greek yogurt, honey, cream cheese (if using), and lemon juice until smooth.
  2. Assemble the overnight oats: Press the graham cracker crust mixture into the bottom of a mason jar or container. Layer with the oat mixture, and then top with the cheesecake topping.
  3. Chill: Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is best for a thicker texture).
  4. Serve: In the morning, top with additional crushed graham cracker crumbs and lemon zest for extra flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • For added sweetness, feel free to adjust the amount of honey, maple syrup, or other sweeteners.
  • Use dairy-free yogurt and non-dairy milk for a vegan version.
  • Add fresh berries or sliced bananas on top for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • For an extra flavor boost, try adding a dash of cinnamon or a little extra vanilla extract to the oats.
