My grandmother loved lemon cheesecake. Every bite reminded her of sunshine and family picnics. I’ve turned that lovely memory into a healthy breakfast: Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats. It’s creamy, zesty, and ready when you wake up. Try it once, and it might just become your new morning favorite!
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon cream cheese (softened)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: crushed graham crackers or granola for topping
In a bowl or jar, mix oats, milk, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt.
Stir well until fully combined and creamy.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).
In the morning, stir and top with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers or granola for a cheesecake-like crunch.
Want it extra lemony? Add a bit more zest!
Make a few jars ahead for a ready-to-go breakfast all week.
