A creamy, tangy overnight oats recipe inspired by strawberry cheesecake, topped with a crunchy graham cracker crumble. Perfect for quick, delicious breakfasts or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond, or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped fresh strawberries (or thawed frozen strawberries)
  • ¼ cup crushed graham crackers (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese, ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Microwave cream cheese for 10 seconds if not soft enough.
  2. Add ½ cup rolled oats and ½ cup milk of choice to the bowl. Stir well to coat oats fully with the creamy mixture. Add a splash more milk if too thick.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Fold in half of the chopped strawberries gently to preserve their shape.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a sealed container or jar and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  5. Just before serving, crush ¼ cup graham crackers into coarse crumbs and sprinkle on top.
  6. Spoon the soaked oats into bowls or eat from the jar. Top with remaining fresh strawberries and graham cracker crumble. Optionally drizzle extra maple syrup.
  7. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. Whisk cream cheese mixture longer if lumpy.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. Do not over-soak oats (max 24 hours). Add graham cracker crumble just before serving to keep it crunchy. Gently fold strawberries to avoid mush. Frozen strawberries should be thawed before use. For vegan version, substitute dairy ingredients with dairy-free alternatives.
