A creamy, tangy, and sweet overnight oats recipe inspired by strawberry cheesecake, topped with a nostalgic graham cracker crumble. Perfect for a quick, indulgent yet wholesome breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – whole milk, almond, or oat milk
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened (57g)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g) – dairy-free coconut yogurt optional
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (30ml)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (150g)
  • 4 full sheets graham crackers, crushed
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in rolled oats and lemon zest (if using) until oats are fully coated.
  4. Gently fold in chopped strawberries, reserving a few pieces for topping.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly into 2 to 3 mason jars or airtight containers and seal tightly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  7. Just before serving, crush graham cracker sheets into coarse crumbs and sprinkle generously on top along with reserved strawberry pieces.
  8. Serve cold straight from the jar, adding a splash of milk if a thinner consistency is desired.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese and yogurt for a lump-free creamy texture. Do not over-soak oats to avoid mushiness; 8 hours is ideal. Fresh strawberries hold texture better than frozen. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup to taste. Crush graham crackers to preferred texture for topping. For gluten-free, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free cookie crumbs or nuts. Vegan options include coconut yogurt, almond milk, vegan cream cheese, and maple syrup instead of honey.
