    Cheesecake for breakfast? Of course! These Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats are a simple and delicious breakfast that can be meal prepped and ready when you wake up. Fresh berries, cream cheese and a hint of maple in this hearty oatmeal will have you excited to wake up!

    Strawberry Season is Here!

    Can't contain my excitement--all things strawberry are on my summer list. And these Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats are on the top of the breakfast rotation currently.

    There is nothing like a hearty bowl of oats in the morning, but there is NOTHING like a cheesecake inspired bowl of overnight oats, am I right? Ooooh, I am right. This Peanut Butter Cheesecake Overnight Oatmeal recipe is another great option if you love all things cream cheese!

    Why I Love These Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats:

    1. You can prep them ahead of time.
    2. They are ready when you wake up.
    3. You only need to take 5 minutes to toss them together.
    4. THEY TASTE LIKE CHEESECAKE!

    Ok, I am a bit partial to number 4, but you get it.

    Ingredients and Substitutions:

    1. Rolled Oats: regular or gluten free will both work great. Some people like steel cut oats in their overnight oatmeal, but I find them too chewy. You can certainly use them, but I prefer rolled oats, or even quick cooking oats if that is what you have.
    2. Strawberries: Fresh or frozen will work. If you use frozen strawberries and don't plan on warming your strawberry cheesecake overnight oats up in the morning, you will want to thaw them before adding them when preparing your oatmeal.
    3. Cream Cheese: I use the whipped cream cheese in the tub for easier stirring--you can use cream cheese form a block, just soften it first. Keeping this one dairy free? Lots of dairy free cream cheese options out there these days!
    4. Milk: Your favorite regular or dairy free milk should be great! We love to use vanilla almond milk or whole milk--we typically have both on hand. But any other milk should work--soy, oat, coconut, skim, etc. Choose your favorite.
    5. Chia Seeds: optional, if you don't have any, don't worry!
    6. Maple Syrup: This is my favorite sweetener, but feel free to add your sweetener of choice instead.

    How to Make These Strawberry Cheesecake Oats:

    There really is nothing to whipping up this cheesecake overnight oats recipe. Mash the berries with a teaspoon of maple syrup. Then stir all the sweetened berries and all the other ingredients together.

    You can adjust the sweetness or the flavor as desired, it may be better to do so when serving. You can toss in any other add ins as well when stirring everything together.

    Seal and chill for at least 4 hours but overnight is ideal. Enjoy when ready, chilled or warmed up.

    Recipe Notes:

    • You can eat these strawberry cheesecake overnight oats hot or cold. Warm them up in the morning and toss some extra milk in if they seem a bit too thick after warming. I typically microwave them for about 45 seconds to one minute or so.
    • No strawberries? Use jam. You can use some strawberry jam instead of fresh or frozen strawberries if you are all out of berries.
    • Storage instructions: These overnight oats will store well in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Refrigerate them in an air tight container and you are set. Give them a stir when you are ready to eat and add an extra splash of milk if they seem too thick.

    Recipe Variations:

    • Add chocolate chips--because all things are better with chocolate.
    • Make your strawberries into a compote before mixing in. Simmer strawberries with a pinch of sweetener and a squeeze of lemon juice on your stove top for about 20-30 minutes. Top your oats in the morning  with extra!
    • No strawberries? No problem! Try another berry--blueberries are amazing to sub for the strawberry cheesecake overnight oats, but raspberries or blackberries would be amazing as well!
    • Add a couple of tablespoons of vanilla or Strawberry greek yogurt. Give a flavor boost and protein boost to your overnight oats!

    As far as overnight oats go, it’s fair to say that I have waaaaaay too many versions on the blog. However, every time I survey readers, I hear the feedback that they still want more overnight oats. So I gotta give you guys what you want, and what I love!

      My hubby loved this strawberry cheesecake overnight oats recipe, In the morning he heats about half a jar of oatmeal with some milk. I think I will try and make it with blueberries the next time to change it up.
      Note: We did not add any salt.
      Thank you help to provide a more healthy alternative to boring cereals in the morning.
