Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blueberry Sauce
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon water
Toppings
- 4 – 5 graham crackers
- Fresh blueberries (for garnish)
- Honey (optional, for additional sweetness)
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 3/4 cup fresh blueberries and 1 teaspoon water. Microwave on high for 1–2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the blueberries burst and a thick sauce forms. Allow to cool completely.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Yogurt Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the texture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Oats Mixture: Add milk, rolled oats, honey, vanilla extract, and chia seeds to the cream cheese and yogurt mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Crush the Graham Crackers: Place the graham crackers into a plastic bag and crush them into small pieces by rolling over them with a rolling pin or pressing with your hands, ensuring they are not powdered but finely crumbled.
- Layer the Ingredients: In serving jars or bowls, start by placing a layer of crushed graham crackers. Follow with a layer of the oat mixture, then a layer of the blueberry sauce. Repeat by adding another layer of the oat mixture topped with blueberry sauce. Finish by sprinkling graham cracker crumbs and a few fresh blueberries on top.
- Refrigerate and Set: Cover the jars or bowls and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid, giving the oats a pudding-like, creamy texture.
Notes
- Use whole milk for creaminess; substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version but texture might vary.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to taste.
- For a thicker texture, use more chia seeds or reduce the milk slightly.
- Blueberry sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Prepare these oats in mason jars or airtight containers to make them portable for quick breakfasts on the go.
- Optional toppings like nuts or granola can be added before serving for extra crunch.
