Description
A creamy, tangy, and healthy twist on cheesecake, this Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats combines lemon, vanilla, and honey flavors for a delightful breakfast treat. It's easy to prepare, customizable, and perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup milk (or almond milk)
¼ cup Greek yogurt (or cream cheese for extra richness)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers (for topping)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure even mixing.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the flavors and thicken.
- Serve & Enjoy: Stir the oats in the morning, top with crushed graham crackers, and enjoy. Optionally, add fresh berries or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
Notes
For a non-dairy version, use non-dairy yogurt or more almond milk.
To enhance the richness, swap Greek yogurt with cream cheese.
If you don’t have graham crackers, use crushed nuts like almonds or pecans as a topping.
For a sugar-free option, replace honey or maple syrup with stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
The oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
