I’m well aware that overnight oats have been done to death and you’ve tried every flavour under the sun, but these key lime pie overnight oats taste as delicious as dessert with the creaminess of it too while providing you with all the slow release energy you need for the day ahead and a good amount of protein too.
Just like the dessert, there’s a biscuit layer, topped with a delectable creamy citrus layer.

INGREDIENT CHOICES AND SUBSTITUTIONS
I used the Schar gluten free digestives for this recipe, the Nush almond milk cream cheese and opted for Alpro for my Greek style yoghurt and my non-dairy milk. Of course, you can choose any brands you want, but you may end up with slightly different tastes and texture, and variations to the nutritional information.
Please note that the almond milk cream cheese has a natural underlying sweetness to it from the almond base, opting for a cream cheese with an alternative base ingredient may make a difference to the overall sweetness of the dish.
The maple syrup can be swapped for any alternative liquid sweetener of your choosing.
