Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or any preferred milk)
  • 2 ounces (about 56g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 cup (150g) strawberries, chopped fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (about 60g) graham crackers, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out for 15 minutes or microwaving for 10 seconds until spreadable but not melted.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats with 1 cup milk and ½ cup Greek yogurt. Stir gently but thoroughly.
  3. Add the softened cream cheese and whisk vigorously until smooth. If too lumpy, blend for 20 seconds.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest if using.
  5. Fold in 1 cup chopped strawberries gently.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds if desired and stir well to thicken.
  7. Portion the mixture into 2-3 mason jars or airtight containers and cover tightly.
  8. Prepare the graham cracker crumble by crushing ½ cup graham crackers in a ziplock bag or food processor; keep separate.
  9. Refrigerate the oats for at least 6 hours or overnight to soak and soften.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle the graham cracker crumble on top. Add extra fresh strawberries or a drizzle of honey if desired.

Notes

Always soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Use rolled oats for best texture. Fold strawberries in gently to keep chunks intact. Crush graham crackers fresh before serving to maintain crunch. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen.
