Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl or large jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, and chia seeds. Stir well so the oats begin absorbing the liquid evenly.
- Add the Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy with no large lumps remaining.
- Stir in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until fully combined.
- Fold in the diced strawberries, reserving a few pieces for topping if desired.
- Cover the bowl or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the oats soften and the mixture thickens.
- Before serving, stir the oats well. Add a splash of milk if the texture is thicker than you like.
- Top with the reserved strawberries and crushed graham crackers, then serve chilled.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can become too soft.
- Soften the cream cheese before mixing to create a smoother cheesecake-like consistency.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt, milk, and cream cheese alternatives.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add the graham cracker topping just before serving to keep it crunchy.
