Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Pinch of salt
Optional Topping
- Crushed graham crackers for topping
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, milk, plain Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until smooth and well combined, ensuring the cream cheese is evenly incorporated into the mixture.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries to keep them intact and distribute their flavor throughout the oats.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to blend any separated liquid and top with extra blueberries and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers if desired. Serve chilled for a refreshing breakfast.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, lightly mash the blueberries before mixing them in.
- Use flavored yogurt or cream cheese, such as vanilla or honey-flavored, to add extra sweetness without additional sugar.
- This recipe easily doubles or triples for meal prepping multiple servings at once.
