Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients for the Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats. Measure out rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, fresh lemon juice and zest, honey or maple syrup, and cream cheese if using.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine rolled oats, freshly grated lemon zest, and any optional spices like cinnamon. Stir them together until they are evenly mixed.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk of your choice, fresh lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, and cream cheese (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, and gently stir until everything is fully combined.
  5. Transfer the combined mixture into jars or airtight containers. Seal and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. When ready to enjoy, take them out of the fridge, stir well, and garnish with additional lemon zest or fresh berries.
