Indulge in a Guilt-Free Morning: Raspberry-Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats!

Crafting the Perfect Overnight Oats Base

Begin by blending unsweetened soy milk, old-fashioned rolled oats, a portion of Greek-style yogurt, chia seeds, honey, flaxmeal, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Whisk these ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Once mixed, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least eight hours, allowing the oats to thicken and absorb the flavors, creating a creamy and satisfying base for your breakfast.

Preparing the Vibrant Raspberry Chia Jam

Next, take frozen raspberries and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them on high for 30 seconds, then stir and gently mash with a fork. Microwave for another 30 seconds to further soften the berries. Incorporate the remaining chia seeds into the mashed raspberries, stirring well. Let this mixture sit for about ten minutes until it achieves a thickened, jam-like consistency. This quick and easy jam adds a burst of fruity flavor and extra fiber.

Whipping Up the Zesty Lemon Cheesecake Topping

In a separate medium bowl, combine whipped cream cheese, fresh lemon zest, lemon juice, the remaining Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth, light, and fluffy. This creamy, tangy topping is the essence of the “cheesecake” experience, adding a luxurious touch to your overnight oats.

Assembling Your Delicious Overnight Oats

To assemble your breakfast jars, spoon approximately one-third cup of the prepared oat mixture into each of four 8-ounce jars. Next, equally divide the raspberry mixture among the jars, layering about two tablespoons over the oats. Top with the remaining oat mixture, then add about two and a half tablespoons of the lemon cream cheese topping to each jar. For an extra touch of elegance and flavor, garnish with additional lemon zest if desired. These jars can be refrigerated for up to four days, perfect for meal prepping.
