Description
A delicious and nutritious Blueberry Overnight Oats recipe that requires minimal prep and no cooking. Perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast with creamy Greek yogurt, fresh or frozen blueberries, and the natural sweetness of maple syrup, soaked overnight to create a creamy and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup full fat Greek yogurt
Flavorings and Add-ins
- ⅓ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix: In a bowl or a mason jar, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, full fat Greek yogurt, blueberries, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, softening into a creamy texture.
- Serve: The next morning, remove the container from the fridge and give the mixture a good stir. If the oats have absorbed too much liquid, add a splash of almond milk to loosen the consistency as desired. Top with additional fresh blueberries or any other toppings you like before enjoying.
Notes
- Use old fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats may become too mushy.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup for sweetness to your preference or substitute with honey or agave syrup.
- You can add nuts or seeds such as almonds or walnuts for extra crunch and nutrition.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled to prepare multiple servings at once.
- Overnight oats can last up to 3 days stored in the refrigerator, but are freshest when eaten within 24 hours.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut or soy yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
