Why You Will Love This Recipe

What You Need to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

• Rolled oats: Use rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) for this recipe. Quick oats are rolled much thinner than rolled oats. This process makes their cooking time shorter. For this reason, when mixed with milk and left in the refrigerator overnight, they will turn mushy.
• Almond milk: Almond milk gives richness and a lovely nutty flavor to the overnight oats.
• Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt adds an additional protein boost to your breakfast.
• Cream cheese: The cream cheese adds a little bit of tang and creaminess to the overnight oats.
• Maple syrup: Maple syrup is my sweetener of choice for this recipe.
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds sweetness and flavor.
• Chia seeds: Chia seeds absorb a lot of liquid, which helps to create a thick and creamy texture in overnight oats.
• Salt: Just a pinch of salt is necessary for this recipe.
• Graham crackers: Serve strawberry cheesecake overnight oats with crushed graham crackers and diced strawberries on top to mimic the flavors of a classic strawberry cheesecake.
• Fresh strawberries and strawberry jam
