This is now on my favorite list. The flavor was so good. I don’t usually eat overnight oats,because I prefer cooked, but I think this one might be worth trying as overnight. This first time I made cooked steel cut oats and added the ingredients after they were cooked. I use the quick cooking steel cut oats. I worried about the lemon juice but it tasted wonderful.
I made them as a quick breakfast this morning and they are the best overnight oats I ever had! 😍 I doubled the amount of frozen strawberries and only used 1/2 lemon and it was perfect!
This recipe changed my mind about overnight oats!
Oh how I love this one! I thought I wasn’t a big fan of overnight oats but this is the 3rd great recipe on my list. I used 1/2 a lemon (‘cause I had a leftover) and to me it was enough lemon :) But even now it’s evening I’m still thinking about my breakfast 😂
The lemon is strong, but I find it delicious. These overnight oats will really wake you up in the morning! ;)
I love this recipe, reduced the lemon to half per serving and I find that very pleasant, still sour enough. I make it often, both my boyfriend and me like it a lot. Thank you! ☺️
So far, my favorite overnight oats recipe!! The flavor exemplifies the name exactly!
I LOVED THIS recipe. Thank you 🫶🏻
Tasty!
I don’t always like overnight oats but this was really good.
This is my new staple breakfast! I can’t have anything else now. It’s so good!
Tastes more like a lemon pie to me, but I LOVE IT!
Just had this overnight oats for 5 breakfast in a row and i can’t get enough 🤤
Excellent. The lemon + yogurt is really crucial here to giving that cheesecake-y taste. I added some chia seeds to the mashed strawberry mix to thicken up the juice that came out of them. Will definitely add to the breakfast rotation!
Wow, what wizardry is this!! Tastes just like cheesecake! Delicious!
I really want to try it. I love your overnight oats recipes. But I like them warm can I heat it up in the morning? Im just afraid if the lemon juice might make it curled
It was AMAZING! Tastes exactly like cheescake
This was SO good!!! It actually tasted EXACTLY like a cheesecake! Thank youuuu PUL team❤️
It was easy to make and very tasty! Perfect when you need to dash the following morning!
We love this recipe! We’ve made it three times and probably more!
Loved this recipe. Will make it again. Will probably also add some raspberries.
Best overnight oatmeal ever ! As usual your recipes are perfection. Every time I make your creations, it is so delicious and tasteful. It never fails and it also looks beautiful. Thank you so much for all your work and all these delicious vegan recipe 💚
I tried this recipe for breakfast this morning, it was delicious eventhough I used almond butter instead of cashew butter.
As it's getting cold, I was wondering if you have tried heating this recipe in the microwave, and whether it's still good after that.
I made this a few times for breakfast at work (the night before) and will make it a thousand times more. When my colleagues saw it, they made it, too and it spread like a virus in our company, also the blueberry-variation :D Thank you so much for your brilliant recipes!
My breakfast this morning. Seriously, it tastes like desert. The whole time I was eating it, I was thinking “Can breakfast be this good?”. Also, didn’t have lemon nor lime so I used 1tsp of apple cider vinegar. Made with peanut butter I had on hand. I’m making all the overnight oats recipe from the app to find my favorite. This was my second, and won from the peanut butter and jelly one.
Yum
I make overnight oats at least 5 days a week. This is one of my favorites!
Filling dessert for breakfast 🤤
Absolutely delicious! I’ve tried other overnight oatmeal recipes but it was never really my thing. This looked so amazing I gave it a try and I am now a lover of overnight oats! Thank you for all you put into this app and your recipes. And thank you for bringing amazing healthy food and joy to so many!
Delicious easy breakfast. I've made this twice with a couple of adjustments and it's delicious, I recommend :D
This is my new favourite breakfast. Devine😍
Absolutely delicious !!
I swap cashew butter for almond butter and the result was awesome ! Thank you Sadia ! 🥰
Thanks for another great recipe. It's very delicious and really tastes like a cheesecake. I used peanut butter instead of cashew.
Some of the best overnight oats I've had!!
Really easy and fun to prep.
One of my favourites
Senzațional!
Loved this recipe! I used a homemade strawberry rhubarb compote for the bottom component and it tasted great. Thanks for the inspiration Sadia!
Love it

Oh my gosh! You are a wizard! This tastes just like cheesecake! So delicious!
By far the best overnight recipe! This really tastes like summery cheesecake. Don't be afraid of lemon juice amount! I made 4 portions and swapped 1 lemon for lime and instead of cashew butter I used peanut butter.
I swaped the keshew butter for peanut and the strawberries for all kind of berries, so it was totally different and hadn’t had any cheesecake feeling while it was amazing
hey! ive really been wanting to try out this recipe, but unfortunately i am allergic to cashews. if i swap them out for another not would it affect the recipe much? or even if i didnt include any type of nut!?
A delightful breakfast. I’ve made the base with other berries and fruit and if turns out delicious each time.
Amazing! I made this with honey, almond butter, chia seeds and coconut milk so a little different but sams ratio and its amazing thank you so much!!
I made this and other overnight oats before and love them all! I’m batch prepping 3 portions this time to have on hand for the week. By tripling the doses it suggests to use the juice of 3 lemons…I got 4tbs of juice out of one large lemon and seemed enough and already tastes nice and tangy so I left it at that. Would you recommend using all 3 lemons? Thank you
This is how every morning should start -- seriously! Super creamy and delicious, sweet but also a little tangy. It really tastes like cheesecake! I'd had Meyer lemons on hand as opposed to regular lemons, but it worked nicely ; Gave it a kind of orange-lemony flavor. Also, I had quick oats in my pantry, so used that in lieu of rolled oats, but also seemed to work well.
I prepared this recipe on sunday for monday and tuesday and was very sad when it was gone. It was so delicious!!
an amazing recipe ! thanks Sadia :) do you think I could add the yogurt on top from the night before, like in the blueberry overnight oats? i'm thinking of giving these to some friends on new year's eve like a ready-made breakfast for them in the morning, and I want to try and avoid leaving instructions to assemble in the morning :) what do you think?
Couldn't choose between this cheesecake overnight oats or the black forest oats (how could I, lol), so I settled for a cherry almond cheesecake overnight oats. I swapped out the strawberries with frozen cherries and cashew butter with almond butter. I also added a little bit of almond extract. But the original recipe for strawberry cheesecake oats recipe is wonderful too! Just like dessert for breakfast
SO GOOD! THAT IS ALL I AHVE TO SAY!
Omg sooo good 🤤
Always tastes so good!
Great recipe! I made strawberry 🍓 syrup with agave out of fresh strawberries for the base. Excellent for breakfast or evening.
This recipe is amazing. Hands-down. It’s smooth and creamy and has just enough sweet to complement the tartness from the berries. Definitely planning to keep this in the frequent use recipe register
I'm not a huge oats fan, but these overnight oats have me converted! I'm obsessed with this recipe—and every other recipe from Pick Up Limes. Breakfast shouldn't taste this good!
*Side note: I love the functionality of this website. It's such a beautifully organized space. Thank you!
Strawberries were on sale at my local supermarket and I bought too many boxes lol. I made these oats to use up some of the strawberries. Perfect way to enjoy the strawberries and overnight oats together! I would consider these overnight oats as (healthy) dessert in a jar. They're so cute in those jars :)
I never liked sweet oats or overnight oats, was a big fan of savoury oats alone, I always felt weird when I thought of the combination of oats and milk but for my love for strawberries and cheesecake and obviously for Pick Up Limes, I gave this a chance and let me tell you I wish I had tried overnight oats or sweet version of oats earlier, literally this is a game changer and I absolutely love this recipe, I had it straight for a week, every single day for breakfast. Adding lemon juice to this is like cherry on top! Thank you Sadia for the amazing recipe. Your work is amazing, we love both you and Robin, I love the bloopers at the end of every video of yours, it’s the part I wait for the most. Keep doing the good work you’re doing and keep making more such super delicious and nourishing meals. Loads of love and virtual hugs from India!
Never was a fan of overnight oats or oatmeal itself but this recipe is a game-changer for anyone who likes a sweet breakfast. It is fun to prepare in the evening and it tastes like a delicious dessert. My parents both always look at it with jealousy :P my new favourite breakfast recipe!!
I never thought I will like overnight oats but this recipe is a gamechanger. OMG! Takes few minutes to whip up before night and next morning you have yummy breakfast ready to eat. Thank you Sadia :D
I prepaired the "Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats" yesterday and devoured them this morning. It's really like having dessert for breakfast! SO GOOD! Thank you for this lovely recipe! I will definitely make them again. I've already been raving about these overnight oats! :-D
This has quickly become my regular breakfast, it's so quick, easy and delicious! Def try it, it's like having dessert for breakfast ❤️
Simply divine...from my 1 year old, 3 year old (with sweetness modifications) to my elderly parents, we all thoroughly enjoyed these overnight oats. Thank you!
Also, just thank you for creating the PUL space. Your vibe and vision are so inspirational.
I honestly thought the lemon juice would be weird in this but took the plunge anyway and it really adds such a fresh flavour to it that goes well with the strawberries. I've tried some of your other oats recipes and this is an instant fave.
Thank you so much for this one. I love overnight oats and eat them every day. I love strawberry cheesecake as well. Can we heat this one in the morning? I prefer my overnight oats warm and I heat them in the microwave for 1 minute every day. I am just worried because it has lemon juice and milk, so I hope it won't curdle once heated.
Hi Sadia and Robin : ))
Christina from Scotland here, loving the website, and just finished making your amazing Cashew Butter and Hazelnut Granola Breakfast Bars which are equally amazing!! I was wanting to ask you what the little 'click' button means/is for? The one with the tick? Making the overnight oats tonight/tomorrow to go with the Cashew Butter :))
Huge love
Christina xxx
Hi Sadia, I noticed that here on the blog, you used fresh strawberries in the recipe and added yogurt toward the bottom + combined strawberries with the oat mixture. May I ask for the measurements of the yogurt and fresh strawberries used in the oats?
I tried the Apple Pie overnight oats and Classic Comforting Oatmeal already. I have been loving all the oatmeal recipes thus far!
These strawberry cheesecake oats are INCREDIBLE! I made my own cashew butter using your recipe and it is truly life-changing. I have eaten these oats every day for over a week and still look forward to them every morning. I don't add any maple syrup or coconut yogurt and use a heaping TBSP of cashew butter and it is perfectly sweet and rich. Adding lemon juice is pure genius--don't skip that step!
Sadia, i love you, i follow you since at least 2 years; but i find it absolutely unacceptable that you support Amazon !
All the links in your 'shop'are to Amazon ! (let alone that half of them dont even work, so redirect to other amazon shit. I would love to buy some of the books or equipment, or even this nutritional yeast, that i cant find in Paris !! and give you commission; but never on Amazon ! It mistreats its employees, accumulates the biggest richness in the hands of one men contributing to misfortunes of capitallism and how it kills the planet and humans, contribute to the pollution and deteriorating of our earth, let alone kills 'artisanals' - small decent producers.
I dont wanna copier-coller this on your other posts - as as i said - i made my family and friends watch your videos and loved almost all of your recipe ( the burger one was absolutly terrible, but this is the only one i can think of) And if you could stop using cinamon, this would be perfect. ;))
So please take a reflection on it . You could as good list the local producers shops that deliver to Europe and/or Americas, and gain your rightly merited commission. With love and compassion, Alice from Paris
This one has quickly become a staple for me, I sometimes swap the strawberries for raspberries and tastes fab too!
So so tasty! A regular for us now.
Yum my fav one!!
I tried all your over night oats recipes and they are sooooo delicious! (Well, I can definitly say this about all your recipes I already tried :-))) ) Dank je wel!
I also added some lemon zest (highly recommended!) to the oat mixture along with some chia seeds, hennep seeds and flaxseeds for some more healthy fatty acids.
Though the recipe doesn’t specifically need those because it is super delicious as is! I really love it and even my non-vegan friends are amazed by how great it tastes :)
Thanks for the recipe!
I make this almost everyday for breakfast the best overnight Oats
I absolutely LOVE this recipe. All of the overnight oats recipes are delicious, so you can’t go wrong, but this has to be my favorite. It was like dessert in a mason jar, I swear! I’m obsessed! Sadia, thank you for blessing us all with these amazing recipes. You were my main inspiration for starting to become more plant based!! I’ve been vegetarian for a year now, and hoping to eventually cut out dairy as well. Your YouTube account has been such an amazing source for me in my transition to vegetarianism, and also my journey to nourishing my body with healthy yet delicious foods. Thank you for everything.
wasn't into the overnight oats, but this is so delicious and now I make it about 2 times a week. Easy to make and also delicious with any other red fruit or berries!
This was such a wonderful recipe and one that really made my Suhoor (breakfast) during Ramadan a breeze because it was all ready to eat in the early morning hours. Felt like dessert for brekkie 😍
This overnight oats recipe changed my view of overnight oats! Absolutely delicious and easily a new staple- feels like I'm eating desert for breakfast.
This overnight oats recipe is addicting! If you're worried about calories you can always divide the one serving into two and you'll have a recipe that's about 300kcal. I add extra fruit and such and feel satisfied through to lunch!
I made this overnight oat more than 5 times and I love it. It is super simple, filling breakfast, which looks amazing. Thank you, Sadia.
I never likes overnight oats but this recipe changed my mind and I now have it on a weekly basis!
Takes some effort (minimal), and worth it!
I eat this every morning since I saw the video on youtube. So delicious and I always look forward to it!
I didn't have Tahini so I used Cashew Butter which tasted lovely as well. And I used your super healthy Granola instead and added some coconut crisps.
I also tried this without the overnight oats but instead freshly cooked oatmeal and it's also super delicious! Great recipe even for beginners like me👍
This is one of my go to overnight oat recipes. I love the sweetness and tanginess that the lemon juice brings. Perfect way to start the day! Leaving this review after I put my jar of these oats in the fridge!
All your recipes are just Amazing! Just one thing, I live in Thailand and there're very limited plant base yogurt here. Do you have any homemade yogurt recipes? :D Anyway, Thank you so much for all the wonderful recipes!! <3
Just as I was getting, so bored with overnight oats, this comes along! It's my favorite way to make overnight oats. Heathy dessert for breakfast, yes please!
I don't know why I would doubt Sadia, but I assumed these would just be strawberry overnight oats. Much to my surprise, they taste SO much like strawberry cheesecake! I actually don't like cheesecake so they aren't something I would make again, but I would happily recommend them to anyone who does like cheesecake and wants something both healthy and decadent for brekky.
These are the best overnight oats I've ever had...actually best oats ever!
I make this overnight oats recipe so regularly I remember the recipe! It's delicious and tastes so much like cheesecake :) It's easy to make and delicious!
Thank you Sadia for another fantastic recipe! This one really really tastes like cheesecake. So much so, that I was wondering…how about using the same recipe, but only with shredded oats into oatflour and create a real vegan (raw) cheesecake…maybe double or triple the amount of everything to fill a cake form and maybe reduce the amount of the almond milk, to make it more firm. And then let it sit overnight, without baking. What are your thoughts on that? One could also use a date/nuts mix for the crust.. I’m looking forward to your thoughts! Because I’m really looking for a good vegan cheesecake recipe :)
Much love 🤗
OMG! these are super easy and good, my favorite one is the strawberry cheesecake overnight oats. So good and it fills me up and honestly it taste like cheesecake. Love having dessert for my breakfast. Thank you for this super easy and taste good recipe.
Hi :D
I don't have access to plant based yoghurt, will this affect the final result?
This is tasty, but as specified in the recommendations it doesn't hold for more than two days! I was hoping for more, but it went moldy and I was heartbroken 😂
I tried several overnight oats recipes from PUL but this one has to be my favorite! So yummy, delicious. A wonderful breakfast for all the sweet tooth. It is one of those recipes that makes me excited to wake up just so I have breakfast. Tons of love from Portugal!
This recipe is absolutely delish. I did it with peanut butter, and cannot wait to try with almond butter. Cashew is usually a bit heavy for me, so I'll continue swapping it. Keep up the fantastic work, and congrats with the new website! It looks so well thought through, crafted, and usable. All the best, Ana
I don’t have any nut butters on hand so is it fine if I skip that part? This recipe looks really great and I can’t wait to try it 😋
There is a typo in the recipe. It should be 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, not 1/2 tbsp of vanilla extract.
These were amazing! I love your recipes as they're super quick to make and very nutritious. Is it possible that you also include the calories per serving for your recipes? That would help those who're on a diet where we track our daily calorie intake :) Love from India!
You really inspire me to have healthy food ..nice work dearsss.
Hey Sadia!
Thank you for your recipes! I wonder if it's possible to have a function that translates the measurements into decilitre, litre and gram? It would be really helpful :)
Hi Sadia! Can you substitute rolled for steel-cut oats in this recipe?
The lemon juice is inspired, it’s what makes this wonderful recipe so cheesecakey! I’ve been thinking about heading plant based for ages but PUL’s lovely ideas and simple ingredients and methods have encouraged me to go for it. We are lucky here in the uk to be able to source all the ingredients quite easily but love the fact you suggest good alternatives for various ingredients. For the last couple of weeks as I’ve discovered your recipes and ideas I’ve looked forward to getting up for an exciting breakfast - and I am definitely not a morning person!! I love Sadia’s subtle, gentle approach and ethos. It’s rare to find every recipe you try from a single individual/ site so utterly delish! PUL team I salute all of you!
OMG - made this in batch for the week and had my first one this morning. It was SO GOOD!! I accidentally added the yogurt to the mix instead of as a topping but it didn't hurt it at all. I'm also not a big eater in the morning so I made 2 recipes but divided it into three 8oz jars, it just barely fit and was the perfect amount!! Definitely a make again!!!!
Hi Sadia! How are you? I hope you and Robin are doing great because you should be extremely proud of this new website you've just launched: it's honestly incredible and so so beautiful!
Despite me wanting to congratulate with us for this new milestone, I actually had a question regarding this precise recipe of overnight oats: I've been thinking about making this since I saw the video and I finally have strawberries on hand, but I was wondering... if you add lemon to the oat mixture, doesn't the milk (even if an almond one) curdle up? is it something that needs to happen in this specific recipe?
Lovely and very fresh. I was afraid that it would become too sour if I excluded the maple syrup (due to my diabetes). But it actually works very well! I assume it’s due to the natural sweetness of the strawberries and the fats from the nut butter🤔🧐
It’s brilliant to alternate between more fresh/berry and dense/chocolate overnight oats during the week. Thank you, PUL!
Dear PUL team, thank you, you have changed our lives. My partner and I are trying to cut down on meat & dairy products and your recipes have helped us so much! We also are eating much healthier now. And... I never enjoyed cooking, but now I do! I don't even search in other websites anymore, because I know that everything you do is delicious (and we have trying quite a lot of your recipes)! Same goes of course for these over night oats. I have tried the cheesecake so far and the splash of lemon with the cashew fits in brilliantly. The new website is amazing and the additional features are really helpful. Keep on rocking!
This overnight oat recipe is just absolutely delicious!!! I’m 10 yrs old and this took less than 5 mins to prepare this the night before and in the morning I was blown away (tastes just like strawberry cheesecake) ! Your YouTube channel is inspiring me to go vegan and change to a healthier lifestyle.
Much love from Vancouver, Canada; you guys over at the PUL team mean the world to me!^<^
~Your youngest fan, Fariha
These were amazing!!!!! Love make-ahead breakfasts. Even my 2-year-old enjoyed this recipe! The new website is fantastic. Love that we can scale up or down the servings and also love the substitution options. Keep up the good work, PUL team!!!
So, I tried the strawberry cheesecake one the other night and oooo Lord it was delicious! Now it’s another morning and I’m craving it but, I didn’t prepare it the night before. What is the minimum amount of time it needs to sit in the fridge and/or can I serve it hot (just adding in the nut butter, berries, and yogurt when serving)?
Absolutely love the new website. May you grow from strength to strength.
Much love all the way from South Africa
Those Strawberry Cheesecake oats are amazing! It's the first time I added vanilla extract to my oatmeal and I love it; perfect balance with lemon juice and cashew butter ❤️👌
The new website is fantastic! Well done :-)
I really must try this. I have an "apple pie smoothie" I make loads for breakfast (shameless plug for my own recipe, hope that's allowed! http://fridasfriday.eu/the-apple-pie-smoothie-31431308) , so I am very much on board for dessert inspired breakfasts :)
I'll def try this asap! And like Emma said down below, the site looks amazing!
Xx, Frida
I never liked overnight oats until I found this recipe! Definitely agree that it tastes like dessert for breakfast.
I love the looks of all these new overnight oats! I'm going to pick up some cashew butter today and try them out.
Also, amazing job on the new website; all the little features are so handy, and it looks great!
The new website is really good. Love to see your work even when i get time to try very few of your recipes.
I say like my namesake before me in the comments: Great new website! Already liked to browse your recipies but now it is a pure pleasure.
I made these and they were amazing! My kids asked me to make it again for them. Thank you! :)
Delicious!! LOVE the new website!! It’s amazing!
