Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened milk of choice dairy or non-dairy
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest from 1 lemon
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Optional Toppings
- extra lemon zest
- crushed graham crackers
- fresh berries
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. Add the maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue whisking until fully combined.
- Stir in the rolled oats and milk, mixing until all the oats are evenly coated in the lemon cheesecake mixture.
- Cover the bowl (or divide the mixture into individual jars or containers), cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid and thicken up to a creamy, pudding-like texture.
- Stir the oats well. Top with extra lemon zest, a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, and fresh berries if desired. Enjoy cold!
Notes
For best results, let the oats sit overnight for maximum flavor and creaminess.
