Have you ever woken up craving cheesecake for breakfast? Well, here’s how you can satisfy that craving with a nourishing jar of overnight oats. Yup, these oats actually taste like cheesecake.

Ingredients to make lemon cheesecake overnight oats

• vegan yogurt: This makes the overnight oats taste like a creamy slice of cheesecake. I used my Easy 3 Ingredient Vegan Yogurt in this recipe, but feel free to use your favourite store-bought vegan yogurt.
• unsweetened plant milk: I used soy milk, but any plant milk will work here. You can also use sweetened plant milk, though you might want to omit the added sugar in this recipe.
• chia seeds: An essential ingredient when making overnight oats. Not only are they a good source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, but they also help thicken our oats by absorbing liquid.
• a sweetener: I used good old white granulated sugar but you can also use a liquid sweetener. If you’re not particular about colour, you can also use brown or coconut sugar.
• vanilla extract
• rolled oats: More info on this down below!
• lemon zest and juice: Essential for that cheesecake flavour.
• digestive biscuits: No cheesecake is complete without a good crust. We’re using the classic digestive biscuit to top our oats.

What type of oats to use

Here are the main types of oats you can use to make overnight oats:

• Rolled oats are the most commonly used. They require at least 4 hours of soaking before they’re soft enough to consume. This is the best type of oats to use!
• Quick cook oats are slightly more processed so they’re thinner and require less soaking time than rolled oats. When I crave for last minute overnight oats, I often use quick cook oats and refrigerate it for about an hour before eating.

I don’t recommend using steel cut oats or instant oats.
