Ingredients

Overnight Oats Base

  • 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
  • 1½ cup (360 mls) plant milk (excluding 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. Prepare individual jars: Take 2 jars or small lidded containers. Into each, add ½ cup (50 grams) rolled 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 and refrigerate: Stir all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Seal the jars tightly with their lids and place them in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak overnight or for up to 5 days to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
  3. Add toppings and serve: Before serving, crumble 1 to 2 vegan graham crackers over the top for crunch. Optionally, add a small dollop of vegan lemon curd on each jar for an extra burst of lemon flavor. Serve directly in the jars for easy cleanup.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with chopped Medjool dates for natural sweetness.
  • Use any plant-based milk except soy milk to maintain flavor balance.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
  • Adjust lemon juice quantity to taste for more or less tartness.
  • Vegan lemon curd is optional but enhances the cheesecake flavor profile.
