Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (any variety)
Lemon Cheesecake Mixture
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, fresh lemon juice, and honey until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Oats and Milk: In a separate container or jar, mix the rolled oats with the milk until the oats are fully immersed.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the lemon cheesecake mixture to the oats and milk, stirring thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the oats.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container or jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit overnight (at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Serve Chilled: In the morning, stir the oats once more before serving. Optionally, garnish with lemon zest or fresh fruit for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture or a low-fat version to reduce calories.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with maple syrup for a different sweetness.
- For a vegan version, replace milk and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives.
- You can add chia seeds for extra fiber and nutrition.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
