Description
A delightful treat that transforms ordinary oatmeal into a comforting dessert featuring strawberries and a creamy cheesecake-like base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish well to prevent sticking.
- Combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Beat the softened cream cheese in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Stir the cream cheese mixture into the oat mixture until combined, making sure there are no lumps.
- Fold in the sliced strawberries gently to avoid breaking them up too much.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until set and lightly golden on top. It should feel firm to the touch when done.
- Let cool slightly before serving, allowing it to set further for easier slicing.
Notes
Start with room temperature cream cheese for a smooth blend. Fold in strawberries gently to maintain their shape. Allow cooling time for better slicing.
