Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats Cake

Print Recipe

A no-bake breakfast cake that layers creamy vanilla overnight oats with juicy macerated strawberries and a light yogurt “cream.” Chill it overnight in a springform pan, slice, and enjoy a wholesome strawberries-and-cream treat for busy mornings or a healthier dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 cups (480 ml) unsweetened milk of choice (dairy or almond)
  • 1 cup (240 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, divided
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey, plus extra to drizzle
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1⁄4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 cups (about 300 g) diced fresh strawberries
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1⁄2 cup strawberry jam (optional swirl)
  • 1⁄2 cup whipped cream or coconut whip for topping
  • 2 Tbsp sliced almonds or crushed graham crackers for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line the base of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk oats, chia seeds, milk, 3 Tbsp yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until combined. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  3. Spoon half the oat mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  4. Stir lemon juice into diced strawberries. Scatter half of the strawberries evenly over the oats. Dot with 1⁄4 cup strawberry jam if using.
  5. Repeat with remaining oat mixture and strawberries (and jam). Tap the pan gently to level.
  6. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight until set firm enough to slice.
  7. Before serving, loosen the ring, lift the cake out, and spread the remaining yogurt over the top like frosting. Add whipped cream swirls and sprinkle almonds for crunch.
  8. Slice into 8 wedges. Serve chilled; drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Make it vegan by using plant yogurt and coconut whip.
  • For a sweeter dessert vibe, fold 2 Tbsp white chocolate chips into the top layer before chilling.
  • The cake keeps refrigerated, tightly covered, for up to 4 days.
  • Swap in raspberries, peaches, or mixed berries when strawberries are out of season.
