Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Raw cashews (soaked)
- 1 cup Dairy-free milk (choose your favorite variety)
Cheesecake Mixture
- 0.5 cup Plain dairy-free yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Layering Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (quartered)
- 0.5 cup Graham crackers (crumbled)
Almond Butter Drizzle
- 2 tablespoons Almond butter
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preparation: Begin by soaking the raw cashews and rolled oats together in dairy-free milk. Stir the mixture well, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and the cashews to become tender.
- Blend the Cheesecake Mixture: Transfer the soaked oats and cashews into a blender. Add the dairy-free yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, then blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency reminiscent of cheesecake batter.
- Prepare the Fruit and Cracker Layers: Slice the fresh strawberries into quarters for even layering. In your serving jars or bowls, crumble the graham crackers to form a base layer that adds a delightful crunch.
- Layer the Oats and Strawberries: Spoon the blended oat and cashew mixture over the graham cracker crumbs, then layer the quartered strawberries on top, creating a visually appealing and tasty combination.
- Make the Almond Butter Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine the almond butter, dairy-free yogurt, and maple syrup. Mix well until smooth and drizzle generously over the layered oats and strawberries for extra flavor and creaminess.
- Serve or Chill: You can enjoy your Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats immediately or chill them further to enhance the flavors. Optionally, top with additional fresh fruits or nuts for added texture and nutrition.
Notes
- Soaking the cashews and oats overnight enhances the creamy texture, but a minimum of 4 hours will suffice if you’re short on time.
- Use your favorite type of dairy-free milk such as almond, oat, or coconut to customize the flavor.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free if you choose gluten-free oats and graham crackers.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your taste preference.
- For added protein, you can mix in a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder when blending.
