Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 ounces (85 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup almond milk
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ cup strawberries, diced
- Pinch of salt
Strawberry Reduction:
- ½ cup strawberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Whip the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, almond milk (240 milliliters / 8 fluid ounces), pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a spacious mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate rolled oats, chia seeds, and a delicate sprinkle of salt into the creamy mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Tenderly integrate freshly diced strawberries into the oat blend, gently folding to prevent crushing the fruit.
- Carefully transfer the entire mixture into a sealed container with an airtight lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight.
- Create a vibrant strawberry reduction by combining chopped strawberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Allow the strawberries to soften and break down, using a wooden spoon to gently mash the fruit, creating a luscious compote.
- Simmer the reduction for 3-4 minutes until it reaches a slightly thickened, syrupy texture, then remove from heat and let cool.
- When ready to serve, retrieve the chilled overnight oats and top with the homemade strawberry reduction, either swirled throughout or drizzled on the surface.
