INGREDIENTS You Need
This Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together! Here’s what you’ll need to get those strawberry breakfast oats doing their thing:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (the base for our no-cook oatmeal magic)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for that creamy cheese oatmeal vibe)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (the secret to cheesecake flavor right in your oats)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, cow’s milk – your pick!)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adds just the right sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (because vanilla and strawberry are BFFs)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (or frozen if fresh isn’t in season)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for texture and a boost of nutrition)
- Pinch of salt (to bring out the flavors)
No worries if you don’t have cream cheese on hand — I use mascarpone or even ricotta in my Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats when I want a little tang with a creamy twist. And if you’re running low on honey, maple syrup works beautifully too.
You can grab all of these during your normal shopping trips, so it’s super easy to pull together this Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats even on busy weeknights. Pro tip: soften your cream cheese ahead of time or beat it with a little milk for easier mixing. I love adding a little extra vanilla to my Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats for that extra kick!

To keep your ingredients fresh and ready for any strawberry breakfast oats craving, store your oats in airtight jars in the fridge for up to 3 days. That way, you’ve got a batch of creamy cheese oatmeal ready to go whenever hunger strikes.
Let’s Make Some!
Alrighty, fellow food lovers, time to roll up those sleeves and create magic! Here’s how to make the most mouthwatering Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats that will have you doing a happy dance before breakfast!
Step 1: Grab a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar (because overnight oats look adorable in jars). Start by blending together the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until silky smooth. This is where that luscious creamy cheese oatmeal base begins.
Step 2: Pour in your milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until fully combined. Your Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats are already smelling like a dream if you’re at this point!
Step 3: Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything evenly so every bite has that creamy, slightly tangy taste of cheesecake.
Step 4: Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries gently. Feel free to save a few for topping in the morning — those juicy bursts make the oats pop with flavor.
Step 5: Seal the jar or cover your bowl with plastic wrap and pop it into the fridge. Now the magic starts happening! Overnight, the oats soak up all those flavors and become perfectly creamy.
In my kitchen, this Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats usually takes about 8 hours to reach that perfect creamy texture, so I prep right before bed and wake up to breakfast ready to go. Busy weeknight tip: You can also make a double batch and have breakfast ready for a couple of days!
When morning rolls around, your Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats might have thickened a bit. No worries if it looks a little dense — just stir, and add a splash of milk if you want it creamier. Top with more strawberries, a sprinkle of granola, or even some crushed graham crackers for a fun crunch.
