A creamy and delicious overnight oats recipe inspired by strawberry cheesecake, featuring a graham cracker crumble topping. Perfect for a quick, wholesome breakfast that feels like dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole milk preferred, almond or oat milk optional)
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
  • 4 sheets graham crackers, crushed
  • 2 tbsp (28g) butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the graham crackers by placing 4 sheets in a zip-lock bag and crushing with a rolling pin until fine crumbs (about 1/4 cup or 30g). Mix crumbs with 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon if using. Set aside.
  2. Soften the cream cheese in a medium bowl and whisk or beat until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the cream cheese. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Stir in rolled oats and chopped strawberries until oats are fully coated in the creamy mixture.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly into two 12-ounce (350ml) jars or containers, leaving space at the top for the crumble.
  6. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumble evenly over the surface of each jar.
  7. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
  8. In the morning, gently stir the oats if desired or leave the crumble as a crunchy topping. Optionally, add sliced strawberries or a drizzle of honey before serving.

Notes

Soften cream cheese well to avoid lumps. Use rolled oats for best texture. Add graham cracker crumble just before serving to keep it crunchy. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey as desired. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use plant-based milk.
