What Kind of Oats Should I Use?

Old-fashioned rolled oats are the go-to choice for overnight oats. They soak up the liquid beautifully overnight without becoming too mushy. Steel-cut oats are too firm, and instant oats can turn out pasty. Stick with rolled oats for the perfect texture every time.

How To Make the Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

Step 1: Mix the Base

In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well mixed.

Step 2: Add the Cheesecake Layer

In a small bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with a teaspoon of milk to make it smooth and stir it into the oat mixture. This creates that rich cheesecake flavor.

Step 3: Add the Strawberries

Fold in the diced strawberries gently to keep them from getting too mashed. You can also layer them if you prefer a visual pop of fruit.

Step 4: Refrigerate Overnight

Cover your jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The oats will soak up the liquid and thicken beautifully.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Serve

In the morning, give it a stir and top with crushed graham crackers, extra strawberries, or even a drizzle of honey if you like a touch more sweetness.

How to Serve and Store Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

These oats are best served cold straight from the fridge, making them a quick and refreshing breakfast. You can enjoy them in a mason jar, glass cup, or bowl. For extra fun, try layering them parfait-style for a fancier feel.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the oats thicken too much, just stir in a splash of milk to loosen them up.
