Why you'll love this recipe

Overnight oats are not only delicious, but they are also a lifesaver for busy mornings. Prep a few batches in advance, and you’ve got a quick, grab-and-go breakfast ready whenever you need it. Here are a few reasons why you'll love this recipe:

• Simple & quick. Just a few simple ingredients are shaken together in a jar, chilled, and ready to enjoy the next morning.
• Taste. The rich cheesecake flavor paired with sweet blueberries creates an irresistible combination. Indulgent & wholesome? Yes, please.
• Customizable. Easily customize the oats to match the season or your current cravings. Add fresh or frozen fruits, nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of granola—whatever you're in the mood for.

Ingredients

To make this easy overnight oats recipe, you'll need the following ingredients:

• Certified gluten-free oats: rolled oats/old-fashioned oats work best. Steel-cut oats will be chewy and quick oats will turn mushy.

• Plant milk: I prefer unsweetened almond milk in this recipe, but feel free to substitute it with your favorite non-dairy milk.

• Dairy-free yogurt: Cocojune and Culina are the best thick vegan yogurts. They add a texture similar to Greek yogurt and a perfect tang that makes your overnight oats taste like cheesecake. Use vanilla yogurt for best results. 

• Pure maple syrup: a natural sweetener that pairs perfectly with oats, berries, and cinnamon.

• Vanilla extract: optional, but recommended for an additional hint of vanilla.

• Salt: enhances the flavor and ties all the ingredients together

• Cinnamon: I add a dash for more flavor and a cozy touch. Measure with your heart and add more or less as you see fit.

• Wild blueberries (frozen): Use them for topping and mixing in! I love the firm, cold texture against the creamy oats. But feel free to substitute with fresh blueberries (or another favorite fruit) if you prefer.

• Coconut cashew granola: my absolute favorite topping to add to these overnight oats. Substitute with nuts, coconut shreds, or crushed gluten-free graham crackers.

How to make blueberry cheesecake overnight oats

First, add all ingredients (except the blueberries and toppings) to a wide-mouth mason jar or another easily sealable container. Stir to combine, cover, and then shake to mix thoroughly.

Next, place in the fridge for at least 4-6 hours to soften the oats. Overnight works best.

Finally, remove the overnight oats from the fridge and give it a good stir. Top with frozen blueberries and granola, and enjoy a delicious breakfast packed with fiber and antioxidants.

Variations

• Extra tang/cheesecake flavor: Add a teaspoon or so of fresh lemon juice or top with lemon zest.
• Superfoods: Add hemp seeds, ground flax seed meal, flax seeds, or chia seeds for additional nutrients.
• Dessert style: Add dairy-free white chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers. Top it off with a dollop of vegan whipped cream.
• Berry mixture: Use a combination of frozen and fresh berries, or create a sweet berry medley with your favorite berries.

Tips for the best overnight oats

• Storage. Store the overnight oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
• Toppings. Add toppings right before enjoying them for the best results. This helps the fruit keep its texture and provides the best flavor.
• Adjust liquids. The best texture for overnight oats is a super creamy base. If you prefer a thicker texture, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or decrease the amount of milk.
• Meal prep. Make the recipe using the exact measurements in individual jars. This results in the best flavor and texture vs. making double/triple batches and separating them afterward.
