Tools Needed for Recipe
Mason Jars
Mason jars work really well for making your overnight oats. If you don’t have a mason jar you just need to make sure to place a lid on the container.
Measuring Cups
Use measuring cups to ensure that you get the right ratio between wet and dry ingredients.
Tips for Success
Mix chia seeds with oats
Before you start make sure to mix your chia seeds with oats in the container. This will ensure that the oats help prevent the chia seeds from clumping up as much.
Softened cream cheese
Make sure to use softened cream cheese for the recipe. If the cream cheese is not softened it will not cream together very well as it will create clumps.
Variations to Recipe
Yogurt
I used Greek yogurt but you can easily swap with plain yogurt or even vanilla yogurt. The Greek will add protein to the oats.
Fruit
I used strawberries, but you can swap with blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or other types of fruit. Or do a mix of fruit for a variety of flavors.
Toppings
Instead of graham crackers topped with granola, chopped nuts, dried fruit, etc.
Mix ins
Mix in mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed cookies, etc. You are welcome to swirl in peanut butter or other ingredients of choice. The options are endless.
