Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, fresh lemon juice, and honey until smooth and well combined.
  2. Combine Oats and Milk: In a separate container or jar, mix the rolled oats with the milk until the oats are fully immersed.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Add the lemon cheesecake mixture to the oats and milk, stirring thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the oats.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
