Ingredients

For the Oats:

• ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• ¼ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added thickness)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• ¼ cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For the Toppings:

• 1 tablespoon chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1 tablespoon granola
• 1 teaspoon almond butter or peanut butter (optional)
• Drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Base

In a mason jar or airtight container, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir well to mix.

2. Add the Blueberries

Gently stir in fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, they will naturally sweeten the oats overnight as they thaw.

3. Refrigerate Overnight

Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.

4. Add Toppings & Serve

The next morning, give the oats a good stir and top with chopped nuts, granola, nut butter, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Enjoy cold or warm it up for a cozy meal.

Cooking Tips & Notes

Getting the Best Texture

• Use old-fashioned rolled oats—quick oats can get too mushy, and steel-cut oats need more soaking time.
• Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add extra fiber and omega-3s.

Customizing the Recipe

• Swap blueberries for raspberries, strawberries, or mixed berries.
• Use almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
• Add protein powder for an extra boost.

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

• Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• If prepping multiple servings, keep toppings separate until ready to eat.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a balanced breakfast.
• Enjoy with a hard-boiled egg or smoothie for extra protein.
• Use as a healthy meal prep option for the week.

These Blueberry Overnight Oats are creamy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients—making mornings easier and more delicious. Enjoy!
