A quick and easy healthy breakfast recipe featuring creamy, tangy cream cheese blended with oats and fresh blueberries, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90 g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240 ml) – almond milk recommended
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (115 g)
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (120 g)
  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (110 g)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwaving in short bursts (10 seconds) until soft but not melted.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese with Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Blend briefly in a food processor for a silkier texture if desired.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together rolled oats, milk, chia seeds (if using), and lemon zest (if using) until oats are evenly hydrated.
  4. Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the oat mixture until mostly combined and creamy.
  5. Carefully fold in the blueberries, swirling them through without crushing to preserve bursts of flavor.
  6. Divide the mixture into 2-3 mason jars or airtight containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats gently. Add a splash of milk if a looser texture is preferred. Top with extra blueberries, a drizzle of honey, or toasted nuts if desired.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is key to avoid lumps. Fold blueberries gently to keep their shape. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Chia seeds add thickness and fiber but are optional. Adjust sweetness after chilling if needed. The lemon zest brightens flavor but can be omitted.
