Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats 100 g
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds 28 g
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup softened vegan cream cheese 60 g
  • ½ cup plain plant-based yogurt 120 g
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk 240 mL
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice 15 ml
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup 60 ml
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 5 ml
  • ¼ cup strawberry jam 59 ml
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries plus more for topping (150 g)
  • crushed graham crackers optional topping (approx. 2 tbsp total)

Instructions

  • Set the vegan cream cheese out on the counter to soften up for about 30 minutes, alternatively, microwave briefly to soften.
  • In a medium bowl add the oats, chia seeds, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl add the softened cream cheese and yogurt. Using a whisk, whisk to fully combine making sure there are no lumps.
  • Add the oat milk, lemon juice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the yogurt and cream cheese. Stir until well incorporated. 
  • Add the wet ingredients to the oat and chia seed mixture. Stir all of the ingredients well to fully incorporate them, making sure there are no clumps of chia remaining.
  • Cover with plastic wrap or use a sealable container and place in the fridge overnight for at least 6 hours.
  • The next morning chop your fresh strawberries into small bite sized pieces.
  • Remove the overnight oats from the fridge, remove the plastic wrap and fold in the chopped strawberries.
  • Using a mason jar or a small bowl for each serving, spoon out ½ tablespoon of strawberry jam, then spoon on some of the overnight oat mixture until your jar is about ½ full. You can sprinkle some crushed-up graham crackers then another ½ tablespoon of jam, and spoon on more overnight oats mixture. Finish by sprinkling on more crushed graham crackers and a few chopped strawberry pieces.
  • Serve immediately.

The recipe makes 4 servings and can be stored for up to up to 4 days in the fridge, either before or after portioning out with the jam and strawberries.
For a large portion, you can make 3 servings instead of 4, in which case each serving will be 409.
The recipe can easily be halved, quartered or doubled as needed.
