how to make Blueberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

Mix the wet and dry ingredients until smooth, add blueberries, and chill. Let the oats sit for at least four hours or overnight so they absorb the liquid. You can layer the blueberries on top or stir them in. When the oats are ready, add your favorite toppings and eat cold or warm briefly.

Ingredients :

2 cups whole rolled oats
2 tbsp chia seeds
1/3 cup cream cheese (softened)
1/3 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups almond milk
2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Directions :

Add the oats, chia seeds, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk to a large mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously until smooth. Let thicken on the counter for 5-10 minutes.
If using frozen blueberries, heat them in the microwave for about 30 seconds in a microwave-safe bowl. Mash the blueberries with a fork until the consistency is jam-like.
Evenly distribute the oat mixture between 5 jars and layer the blueberries on top. Alternatively, mix the blueberries in with the other ingredients if you don’t want to layer them.
Seal the jars with a lid or cover tightly with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and let soak for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the oats have soaked up all the liquid, add toppings and enjoy. Serve cold or warmed for 30 seconds in the microwave.
