Ingredients
Base Mixture
- 1 cup diced fresh or frozen strawberries (divided)
- 2 1/3 cups plant milk (any kind)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plant-based if needed)
- 1/4 cup softened cream cheese (dairy-free if needed or cashew butter)
Oats & Seeds
- 2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2-3 scoops vanilla protein powder (optional)
Toppings
- Crushed graham crackers
- Crushed Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins
- Strawberry jam
- Fresh chopped strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Base Mixture: Place 1/2 cup of the strawberries, all of the plant milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and cream cheese or nut butter into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until the strawberries are fully broken down and the mixture is smooth and light pink in color.
- Combine Oats and Seeds: In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, kosher salt, and optional vanilla protein powder. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Mix Strawberry Base with Oats: Pour the blended strawberry mixture into the oat mixture. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir everything together until well combined. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of diced strawberries and gently fold them into the oats. The mixture will be slightly runny at this stage.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Divide the oat mixture evenly into 4-5 jars or containers with lids, such as mason jars. Seal them and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. During this time, the oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Serve with Toppings: When ready to eat, top each jar with crushed graham crackers, Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins, strawberry jam, and optionally fresh chopped strawberries for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Note 1: For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with cashew butter.
- Note 2: Use certified gluten-free oats if gluten intolerance is a concern.
- Note 3: Protein powder is optional and can be added for extra protein.
- Note 4: Toppings like crushed crackers and strawberry jam add a cheesecake-like texture and sweetness.
- Note 5: For individual portions, mix the oats in jars directly or transfer after mixing.
