Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats Base

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (any preferred type)
  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp honey

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra lemon zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or sealable container, thoroughly mix the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, lemon zest, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquids and flavors, softening to a creamy consistency.
  3. Serve and Garnish: In the morning or when ready to eat, give the oats a gentle stir. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra lemon zest for added freshness and presentation. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk to make it dairy-free, though cream cheese will add some dairy flavor unless using a vegan substitute.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste preferences.
  • For a thicker texture, use Greek yogurt with higher fat content or add a teaspoon of chia seeds to the mixture.
  • To increase protein content, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
