Ingredients

Blueberry Milk

  • 3/4 cup frozen blueberries (no need to thaw)
  • 2 cups creamy non-dairy milk (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon grade A maple syrup (plus more to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Juice of 1/2 small lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Oatmeal Mix

  • 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds (or ground flaxseed)
  • Optional add-ins: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and/or cardamom

Toppings (Optional)

  • Extra fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Hemp hearts
  • Nut butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Blueberry “Milk”: Add the frozen blueberries, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and kosher salt to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until the blueberries are finely blended into the milk, creating a smooth, purple blueberry milk base.
  2. Mix the Oatmeal: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and optional cinnamon and cardamom if using. Pour the blended blueberry milk into the bowl and stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined. Let the mixture sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid. Stir again to reincorporate any liquid that has settled on top.
  3. Store and Serve: Transfer the oatmeal mixture into jars or airtight containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to thicken and flavors to meld. When ready to eat, top with your favorite add-ins such as fresh or frozen blueberries, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, or nut butter. Enjoy cold straight from the fridge or warm it up if you prefer. Leftovers can be kept refrigerated for up to 5 days.
