Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (freshly grated)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, milk, softened cream cheese, lemon zest, and honey. Use a whisk or spoon to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Transfer the oat mixture into a clean jar or container with a lid. Seal and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats well. You may add additional toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or extra honey if desired. Enjoy chilled for a creamy, lemony breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture or low-fat for a lighter version.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey according to taste.
- Replace milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adding chia seeds can increase fiber and texture variety.
- Best consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
