Ingredients
-
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
-
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
-
1 1/4 cups whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt, divided
-
2 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, divided
-
1 1/2 tablespoons white or black chia seeds
-
3 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
-
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
-
3 cups fresh mixed berries (such as blackberries, blueberries and/or raspberries), plus more for garnish
-
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
-
5 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
-
2 teaspoons lemon juice
-
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (from 4 sheets)
Directions
- Stir oats, almond milk, 1 cup yogurt, 4 teaspoons maple syrup, chia seeds, 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1/8 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 4 days.
- Meanwhile, toss berries with lemon zest, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use or up to 4 days.
- Whisk cream cheese, lemon juice and the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup together in a medium bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use or up to 4 days.
- Transfer half of the berry mixture to a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork until starting to break down. Spoon about 1/3 cup whole berry mixture into each of 4 (16-oz.) jars; spoon a heaping 1/2 cup oat mixture over the whole berry mixture in each jar. Top each with a scant 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture. Layer on 2 tablespoons mashed berry mixture each, followed by 1/2 cup oat mixture each. Top each jar with a scant 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture followed by 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs. Garnish with more berries, if desired.
