Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • ¼ cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup granola for topping

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Lid or plastic wrap
  • Spoon or Spatula
  • Serving jars or bowls

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the cream cheese is fully incorporated, with no lumps and a creamy consistency.
  2. Pour the mixture into two clean jars or bowls, dividing it evenly. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours, allowing the oats to soak and absorb the flavors.
  3. Once ready to serve, remove the jars from the fridge and give the oats a gentle stir if needed. Top each with fresh, sliced strawberries for a bright, juicy burst of flavor.
  4. Sprinkle granola generously over the strawberries, adding a satisfying crunch that contrasts with the creamy oats. Feel free to add extra honey or a drizzle of jam for more sweetness.
  5. Enjoy immediately with a spoon, savoring the combination of creamy oats, fresh berries, and crunchy granola—a perfect, effortless breakfast to start your day.
