A quick and easy 5-ingredient overnight oats recipe that tastes like dessert for breakfast. Creamy, tangy, and sweet with fresh strawberries and cream cheese, ready in 5 minutes with no cooking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (any kind)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 ounces (56g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, diced
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese: Let 2 ounces cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or microwave for 10 seconds on low power.
  2. Make the cheesecake mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons honey until completely smooth (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add the oats: Pour in 1 cup rolled oats and stir until fully coated. Let sit for 2 minutes.
  4. Prep the strawberries: Wash, dry, and dice strawberries into small pieces (pea-sized).
  5. Layer in jars: Divide half the oat mixture between two 16-ounce jars. Top with half the diced strawberries. Add remaining oat mixture, then remaining strawberries.
  6. Stir gently: Give each jar a gentle stir (2-3 swirls) to distribute strawberries without fully mixing.
  7. Refrigerate: Cover jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably 8-12 hours (overnight).
  8. Enjoy: Stir, add a splash of milk if too thick, and enjoy cold or microwave for 30-45 seconds for warm oats.

Notes

Don’t skip softening the cream cheese to avoid lumps. Use rolled oats, not instant or steel-cut. For best texture, let oats rest 2 minutes before refrigerating. Taste and adjust sweetness before refrigerating. Store in fridge up to 5 days. Freeze without strawberries for up to 3 months.
