Blueberry Overnight Oats
Blueberry overnight oats are a fruity, healthy, and refreshing breakfast that is simple to make with just a few ingredients. Our recipe combines sweet blueberries with plant-based yogurt and a splash of maple syrup for a naturally sweetened treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vegan yogurt such as coconut or almond yogurt
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled or quick oats
Instructions
- Blend the blueberries. Add the blueberries to a high-speed blender. Pour in the plant-based milk, yogurt, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend for 5-10 seconds or until smooth.
- Combine with the oats. Add the oats to a large mixing bowl and pour in the blended blueberries.
- Stir to combine. Using a large spoon or spatula, stir to combine the oats with the blended blueberries. The mixture will look very liquid. This is normal as the oats will soak up the liquid overnight.
- Transfer to jars. Finally, transfer the blueberry oats to individual jars and close with the lids. Note: This recipe makes 3 small portions or two larger ones. This is totally up to you.
- Chill overnight. Once you have filled the jars, place them in the refrigerator and let them chill overnight or for a minimum of 6 hours. The following morning, all you have to do is add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
- These overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use good blueberries. Not all blueberries are equal, and since they are one of the main ingredients in this recipe, we recommend avoiding using cheap blueberries, as they tend to have a bland flavor and are not very sweet. Instead, use sweet fresh blueberries when in season or high-quality frozen ones.
- Add extra blueberries. If you want more flavor and texture, do not blend all of the blueberries. You can save approximately 1/3 cup of blueberries and slightly mash them before incorporating them into the oats.
- Double or triple the batch. The recipe we are giving here serves 2-3. You can easily double or even triple it if you want to serve more people or have enough oatmeal to enjoy throughout the week.
