Description

This refreshing Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats recipe combines creamy plant-based milk, zesty lemon, and the subtle sweetness of maple syrup to create a delicious and nutritious breakfast. Enhanced with chia seeds and vegan graham crackers, this no-cook overnight oats dish delivers a cheesecake-inspired flavor and texture that’s perfect for busy mornings or a make-ahead snack.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (100 grams) rolled or old fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or 2 chopped Medjool dates)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 very small pinches fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1½ cup (360 mls) plant milk (not soy milk)
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Toppings

  • 1 to 2 vegan graham crackers
  • 2 small dollops of vegan lemon curd (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Take two small jars or lidded containers. To each, add ½ cup (50 grams) oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, a small pinch of fine sea salt, ¾ cup plant milk, zest of half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir each jar well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined. Secure the lids tightly and place the jars in the refrigerator overnight or up to five days to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors.
  3. Add Toppings and Serve: Before eating, crumble 1 to 2 vegan graham crackers over the oats and add a small dollop of vegan lemon curd on top if desired. Serve directly from the container to minimize cleanup.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with chopped Medjool dates for natural sweetness.
  • Use any plant-based milk except soy milk to keep the flavor balanced.
  • Overnight oats can be refrigerated for up to five days, making them ideal for meal prep.
  • Vegan lemon curd adds extra richness but is optional.
  • Adjust lemon zest and juice to taste for more tanginess.
