Mixed Berry Cheesecake-Inspired Overnight Oats

5.0

(2)

2 Reviews

These cheesecake-inspired overnight oats feature layers of sweet berries and creamy oats with a graham cracker topping, just like the classic dessert. Any combination of berries works well here. If your favorite berries aren’t at their peak, swap them out for frozen, keeping in mind that they may add more liquid to the mixture as they sit.

Transfer half of the berry mixture to a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork until starting to break down. Spoon about 1/3 cup whole berry mixture into each of 4 (16-oz.) jars; spoon a heaping 1/2 cup oat mixture over the whole berry mixture in each jar. Top each with a scant 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture. Layer on 2 tablespoons mashed berry mixture each, followed by 1/2 cup oat mixture each. Top each jar with a scant 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture followed by 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs. Garnish with more berries, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
