Berry cheesecake overnight oats

These cheesecake overnight oats with berries get a creamy texture from a mix of yoghurt, chia seeds and just a little cream cheese that is totally optional. Just like these Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats.

They are also filled with a mixture of either fresh, or frozen berries. Using frozen berries is both cost efficient, delicious and nutritious. This way you can use your favourite berries, whatever season, and enjoy a nutrient-packed breakfast! 

These mixed berry overnight oats also make an excellent meal prep for the busy week ahead. Another one of my favourites for meal prepping breakfast are these Cinnamon roll overnight oats, these Blueberry overnight oats or these Cookie Dough Overnight Oats.

Substitutions and Variations

• Gluten-free – Oats are naturally gluten-free, but can contain traces of gluten. To ensure this overnight oat recipe is completely gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. They can usually be found in the gluten-free section in the grocery store. Also avoid using a plant based milk like oat milk, a better option is soy or almond milk. Read the packaging to ensure it is gluten free.
• Extra protein– For a protein packed overnight oats, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of protein powder, vanilla flavor is a great option. Hemp seeds is also a great option for some extra protein.
• Berries – I used a mix of frozen berries, fresh ones also taste great when in season. Use your favourit! Some chopped fruit can also be used, or a mix of both. 
• Sweetness – For a little more sweetness, serve with a drizzle of maple syrup. Also taste the overnight oats, if the berries are a little tart, add more maple syrup to taste. Honey, brown sugar or coconut sugar are other options for sweetener.
• Vegan – To keep this overnight oat recipe vegan, make sure to use a plant-based milk, yoghurt cream cheese (if using) and granola or cookie crumbles.
• Yoghurt – to give these overnight oats a more of a cheesecake texture, use a thicker yoghurt, like a greek style yoghurt. I prefer to use unsweetened and then add maple syrup to taste, but a sweet or flavoured yoghurt also works.
• Jam – Serve these oats with some sweet jam, store bought or homemade jam like this Strawberry chia jam.
• Nuts – For some crunch, stir in some chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts.
