Ingredients
Fruit
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries, thawed (or fresh)
Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup dairy-free milk
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Berries: If using frozen berries, thaw them by microwaving for 30 seconds, then partially mash some berries to release their juices while leaving some whole for texture. If using fresh berries, simply prep them for topping at the time of serving.
- Mix the Oats Base: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, dairy-free milk, dairy-free cream cheese, ground flax seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
- Assemble and Refrigerate: Layer the oat mixture with the thawed mixed berries in a jar or container with a lid. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or ideally overnight to let the flavors meld and the oats soften completely.
Notes
- Use dairy-free milk and cream cheese for a vegan-friendly breakfast.
- Flax seeds add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; you can grind them fresh for better nutrition.
- The mixture can be made the night before for convenient morning consumption.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to taste.
- For added crunch, top with nuts or seeds before serving.
