These Cranberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats combine the tangy sweetness of cranberries with the creamy richness of cheesecake. Perfect for a nutritious and indulgent breakfast that’s easy to prepare ahead of time.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh or dried cranberries
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon crushed graham crackers (for topping)
- Extra cranberries for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Base:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the Ingredients:
- Add rolled oats, cranberries, and cinnamon (if using) to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
Refrigerate Overnight:
- Transfer the mixture to a mason jar or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to allow the oats to soak and soften.
Serve:
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Top with crushed graham crackers, extra cranberries, and a drizzle of honey if desired. Serve chilled.
Tips:
- For a nuttier flavor, add a tablespoon of almond butter or chopped nuts.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if the oats are too thick.
- Fresh cranberries can be lightly sweetened or cooked into a compote for a softer texture.
