Fuel up for the day ahead with these decadent yet healthy Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats. If you’re a cheesecake lover, this recipe is an absolute must try! I have to admit – I ate almost the whole thing of oats you see here after taking these photos. They are just soooo good. You can pretty much guarantee that I’ll be remaking this recipe with other fruit variations in the future. Get excited, people! 😉

Ingredients and Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:

  • Rolled oats – I prefer to use rolled oats (also called old fashioned oats) in my overnight oats recipes because they maintain some chew even after a few nights in the fridge. Quick cooking oats turn to mush and steel cut oats have too much bite (even if you use the quick cooking kind).
  • Milk – Use whatever neutral tasting milk you prefer! I used almond milk, which doesn’t have a strong flavor. Some non-dairy milks have a really strong flavor or are overly sweet – I’d stay away from those in this recipe.
  • Greek yogurt – This helps add both tang and creaminess while adding some extra protein.
  • Cream cheese – I used the 1/3 fat version of cream cheese to keep things lighter, but you could of course use full fat cream cheese for a richer flavor. Just be sure to soften it at room temperature to avoid big clumps!
  • Strawberries – I mean…you can’t have strawberry cheesecake without strawberries! But you could totally opt for whatever berries you like. Fresh or frozen will work just fine!
  • Maple syrup – You need just a touch of sweetness to help balance out the tanginess of the cream cheese and Greek yogurt. You could use honey or agave syrup instead, but I personally like the flavor of maple syrup best.
  • Chia seeds – If you’re not familiar with them, they’re the little black specks you can see in the overnight oats. As they sit in liquid, they soak up moisture and help your overnight oats thicken up and get really creamy. Plus they’re a great source of fiber and antioxidants!
  • Vanilla extract – Like salt in a savory dish, vanilla tends to enhance the flavors of a sweet recipe.

Add More Protein

If you’d like to bump up the protein content in this recipe, feel free to add some protein powder! I’d recommend using a collagen to keep the strawberry and cheesecake flavors front and center. A whey and casein blend will give you the best oats texture when it comes to dairy protein powders, but may overpower the cheesecake flavor of the oats. Try this brand or this one.

For collagen, add 1 scoop (~10 grams) per serving. For whey/casein blend, add 1-2 tablespoons per serving of oats. Just add a couple extra tablespoons of milk to the recipe to help the protein dissolve without drying out the oats.

Overnight Oats Essentials

I recommend using 10 oz jars for meal prepping overnight oats. They give you enough room for any toppings and actually allow you to stir your oats in the morning. I also love using my immersion blender with whisk attachment to quickly blend wet ingredients and avoid any undesired lumps or chunks.
