Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats
If you love overnight oats, you are going to absolutely adore this recipe! Made with Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and a little bit of lemon zest, this lemon cheesecake overnight oats recipe is one my all-time favorites — it tastes JUST like lemon cheesecake for breakfast!
You guys, I tried the viral Japanese cheesecake trend flying around the internet these days, but had to put the Fit Foodie twist on it (of course!), and ohhhh my gosh, do these lemon cheesecake overnight oats DELIVER.
All you need to do is slide a few Biscoff cookies into these overnight oats before you let them set in the fridge. The result is absolutely incredible 🥰.
Ingredients You Need
Let’s quickly go over what you need for this recipe because I am offering some swap suggestions as well to make this recipe vegan/dairy free!
- Rolled oats
- Chia seeds
- Unsweetened almond milk (Any kind of milk will work!)
- Greek yogurt (Option to substitute with a dairy-free yogurt or omit and add a little bit more almond milk)
- Honey (Option to substitute maple syrup or omit)
- Vanilla extract
- Lemon zest
How Easy Are Overnight Oats to Make?
In addition to overnight oats being a great form of meal prep, this may or may not be the world’s easiest breakfast to put together. Since there is no cooking involved, all you have to do is mix everything together and pop it in the fridge to soak.
From there, you just need to wait a few hours, or, ideally overnight, for your owns to soak up all of that goodness! I suggest serving this recipe cold, but some like to warm this up in the morning before eating! The choice is yours.
Make this Recipe for Meal Prep
What I love about overnight oats is that you can mass produce these kinds of recipes to serve a crowd, large family, etc. So, if you’re hoping to get 8 servings out of this, just double the recipe. Or, if you’re looking to only get 2 servings out of this, half it!
Another thing I personally like doing is prepping my overnight oats in single serve jars for an easy grab and go in the AM. You can do this by diving all of the ingredients by 4 and portioning things out that way! Here are some of my favorite overnight oats meal prep containers to use:
