These strawberry cheesecake overnight oats pack a serious protein punch — and they taste like dessert! Creamy yogurt and cottage cheese combine with hearty oats for a wholesome and delicious breakfast.

Why I Love This Recipe

I believe breakfast should be delicious, satisfying, and effortless — and these cheesecake-inspired overnight oats are all three! With over 20 grams of protein per serving, they keep you full and energized, while feeling like you’re enjoying dessert.

This recipe is perfect for busy mornings. Just layer yogurt, cottage cheese, oats, and milk into a jar, pop it in the fridge overnight, and wake up to a tasty breakfast. The strawberries add sweetness, while a drizzle of honey and crunchy graham cracker topping really give the cheesecake vibes.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Strawberry yogurt– Greek yogurt adds extra protein, but any yogurt works great here!
• Cottage cheese– A little cottage cheese adds amazing texture and a hefty protein boost. If cottage cheese isn’t your jam, swap it out for extra Greek yogurt.
• Rolled oats– The raw oats soak overnight, creating a smooth, creamy consistency. Quick oats work too, but do not use steel-cut oats.
• Milk – Use dairy milk or your favorite dairy-free alternative like almond milk or soymilk. I’ve been using Fairlife milk because it has extra protein.
• Fresh strawberries – Sweet, juicy berries really make this feel like a treat! Blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries make great substitutes.
• Honey – A drizzle of honey adds natural sweetness and complements strawberries, but you can skip it if you want to reduce the sugar.
• Graham crackers – Crumbled on top, graham crackers give you the classic cheesecake crust flavor. You could swap in granola or nuts instead.

How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

• Grab a mason jar or small bowl. Add the strawberry yogurt to the bottom, followed by cottage cheese, rolled oats, and milk.
• Stir gently to combine everything evenly. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
• In the morning, top your oats with sliced fresh strawberries, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle graham cracker crumbles over the top.

Can You Make Overnight Oats in Advance?

Absolutely! In fact, overnight oats get even better after sitting in the fridge for a day or two. Prep multiple servings at once, store covered in your fridge, and add your toppings just before eating. Perfect for meal prep or busy weekday mornings!
