Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons cashew butter (or almond butter)
  • 1 cup cashew milk (or almond milk)
  • 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 5–6 medium fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free graham cracker crumbs (about 1 sheet, crumbled)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In two mason jars, evenly divide the rolled oats, cashew butter, cashew milk, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt.
  2. Step 2: Mix the ingredients well in each jar, then add freshly sliced or frozen strawberries on top.
  3. Step 3: Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  4. Step 4: The next morning, sprinkle the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs evenly over each jar before enjoying your strawberry cheesecake overnight oats.

Tips & Variations

  • Use almond butter instead of cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
  • Add a pinch of vanilla extract for extra depth in taste.
  • Switch strawberries with blueberries or raspberries for variation.
  • For a creamier texture, substitute Greek yogurt with full-fat or plant-based yogurt.

Storage

Store the overnight oats in sealed jars or containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid adding the graham cracker crumbs until just before serving to keep them crunchy. Reheat gently or enjoy cold.

How to Serve
