Instructions

Step 1: Soften Your Cream Cheese

Take cream cheese out of the fridge 30 minutes before starting, or microwave for 10-15 seconds. It needs to be soft enough to blend smoothly.

Step 2: Mix Your Creamy Base

In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Whisk until completely smooth and creamy. Add rolled oats, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 3: Add Your Blueberries

Gently fold in fresh blueberries. Save a few to place on top later, but most should be mixed right into the oat mixture.

Step 4: Divide and Chill

Divide mixture evenly between two mason jars or airtight containers. Pop the lids on and place in the refrigerator. These need at least 4 hours to set, but overnight is ideal.

Step 5: Morning Glory

The next morning, give your jar a good stir. Top with extra fresh blueberries and a generous sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.

Notes

Room temperature cream cheese is CRUCIAL – cold cream cheese will never blend smoothly.

Use old-fashioned rolled oats, NOT instant oats. Instant oats turn mushy overnight. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash more milk until desired consistency. Store in sealed mason jars or airtight containers for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

The flavors actually get even better after day two as everything melds together.

For dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt and dairy-free cream cheese. Can use frozen blueberries but they’ll release more liquid and may make oats slightly more watery. To warm them up, microwave for 45 seconds and stir.

Add graham cracker topping after heating. Make a double batch on Sunday for easy breakfasts all week! Swap blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or diced apples for different flavors.
