Chilled, creamy Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats are a quick and easy no-cook breakfast or snack option. With a refreshing lemon flavor and a creamy texture reminiscent of cheesecake, this plant-based recipe is perfect for enjoying at home or on the go. Made with rolled oats, chia seeds, plant milk, and zesty lemon juice and zest, it requires minimal prep and is ready after a night in the fridge.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup (100 grams) rolled or old fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or 2 chopped Medjool dates)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 very small pinches fine sea salt
  • 1½ cup (360 mls) plant milk, not soy milk
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 vegan graham crackers, or digestive biscuits (or similar cookies)

Optional

  • 2 small dollops of vegan lemon curd

Instructions

  1. Prepare jars: Take 2 jars or other small lidded containers. Into each one, add ½ cup (50 grams) oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, a small pinch of sea salt, ¾ cup plant milk, zest of half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  2. Mix ingredients: Stir the ingredients really well in each jar until thoroughly combined ensuring the chia seeds and oats are evenly distributed in the liquid base.
  3. Chill overnight: Put the lids on tightly and refrigerate the jars overnight or for up to 5 days to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and the flavors to meld, resulting in a creamy texture.
  4. Serve with toppings: Before serving, crumble over the vegan graham crackers or digestive biscuits for crunch. Optionally, add a dollop of vegan lemon curd on top for extra tang and richness. Serve directly in the container to minimize cleanup.

Notes

  • Make ahead/meal prep – Prepare a batch at the weekend and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This makes an ideal ready-to-eat breakfast or snack for busy mornings or on-the-go meals.
  • Use any plant milk except soy milk for best flavor and consistency.
  • Dates can be used as a natural sweetener alternative to maple syrup.
  • To enhance lemon flavor further, use freshly grated zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • Vegan lemon curd is optional but adds an authentic cheesecake tanginess.
