Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
