Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) vanilla extract
Optional Topping:
- 1/2 graham crackers, crushed (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Gather a medium-sized container with a secure lid, perfect for storing and mixing ingredients smoothly.
- Whisk together rolled oats, creamy milk, tangy Greek yogurt, nutrient-packed chia seeds, velvety cream cheese, golden honey, and aromatic vanilla extract until achieving a uniform, silky consistency.
- Delicately incorporate plump, fresh blueberries into the mixture, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the creamy base without breaking the fragile berries.
- Seal the container tightly with its lid, then place in the refrigerator for a transformative overnight rest, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and develop a luxurious, pudding-like texture.
- When morning arrives, remove the container and gently stir the chilled mixture to redistribute any settled ingredients.
- Elevate the dish by garnishing with additional whole blueberries, sprinkling crushed graham crackers for a delightful crunch, and optionally drizzling with pure honey or rich maple syrup to enhance the morning’s indulgence.
Notes
- Swap Greek yogurt with dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt for a vegan version.
- Use gluten-free oats and graham crackers to make the recipe celiac-friendly.
- Adjust sweetness by replacing honey with stevia or maple syrup for low-sugar diets.
- Experiment with different berries like raspberries or strawberries to create exciting flavor variations.
