Ingredients
- 1 cup plain 0% Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons light cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teapoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (or milk alternative)
- 1/2 cup pasteurized liquid egg whites**
- 2 cups rolled oats
- Pinch of salt
Optional topping*
- 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkle of crushed graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, cream cheese, maple syrup or honey and vanilla. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Add milk and pasteurized liquid egg whites and whisk until combined.
- Add oatmeal, and salt. Stir until mixture is uniform throughout.
- Divide oatmeal mixture into four mason jars, cups or bowls.
- In a medium-sized pot, bring the berries and maple syrup to a light simmer. Reduce heat to medium low, stirring frequently, and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes. Mash the berries with a potato masher or fork. Leave several berries whole for added texture.
- Stir in the chia seeds until thoroughly combined and cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens to desired consistency. Stir frequently so that it doesn’t stick to the pot.
- Once the mixture has thickened up, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Evenly divide the blueberry mixture over the oatmeal mixture in each bowl or jar.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill overnight (or for at least 6 hours, but ideally 8 hours). Top with some crumbled graham cracker crumbs before serving, if desired.
Notes
-
- *If you don’t have time to make the blueberry topping, you can skip it and top with fresh or frozen blueberries and some graham cracker crumbs, if desired.
- **If you want to skip the liquid egg whites, sub in 1/2 cup milk for them instead. The recipe will be slightly lower in protein though.
- You can also use 2-4 tablespoons vanilla protein powder instead of the maple syrup in the oat mixture for an extra protein boost, but you may need to add some extra milk.
- If preferred, you can also allow the mixture to thicken in the mixing bowl and divide it into jars, cups or bowls once thickened.
- For even more blueberry flavor, feel free to mix some blueberries into the oat mixture too.
