Key Lime Pie Inspired Overnight Oats

Breakfast

Who doesn’t love Key lime pie for breakfast? These creamy overnight oats taste just like the iconic dessert, complete with a crumbled graham cracker topping. A tangy Key lime–flavored yogurt mixture sits on top of the oats. Be sure to stir it in just before adding the topping to best preserve the texture of the oats. If you can’t find fresh Key limes, you can use regular lime zest and bottled Key lime juice, or use a mix of 1 part lemon juice and 2 parts regular lime juice.

Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
2 1/2 teaspoons grated Key lime zest, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (5.3-ounce) container low-fat Key lime–flavor strained (Greek-style) yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh Key lime juice (from about 5 Key limes), plus 4 Key lime wedges for serving
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Description

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk oats, milk, chia seeds, condensed milk, 2 teaspoons lime zest, salt and vanilla together in a medium bowl until fully combined.
Divide the mixture among 4 (8-ounce) lidded containers, about 3/4 cup each. Whisk yogurt and lime juice in a small bowl until blended. Top each jar with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture. Refrigerate, covered, until the oats have absorbed the liquid and the mixture is thickened, at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar in a small bowl; mix with a fork until crumbly and the texture of wet sand. Spread into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool on the pan, about 15 minutes.
To serve, stir the yogurt mixture into the oat mixture. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon lime zest. Garnish with a Key lime wedge, if desired.
