How To Make This Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the blueberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries and salt over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, mashing the blueberries with a fork as they cook. Once the blueberries are soft and the mixture has thickened, remove from heat. Allow the sauce to cool and thicken. Here’s a recipe on how to make blueberry sauce in more detail.

Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, lime juice and milk. Stir until well combined and no dry pockets of ingredients are left.

Step 3: Wait for about 20 minutes for the oats to thicken before going to the next step of layering.

Step 4: Take a 12 oz jar and start by adding a layer of the prepared overnight oats mixture at the bottom. Spoon a layer of the blueberry sauce on top of the oats. Add another layer of the overnight oats on top of the blueberry sauce. Continue alternating layers until the jar is filled, finishing with a layer of the blueberry sauce on top.

Step 5: Seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.

Step 6: The next morning you can put on any extra toppings. Add 1 tbsp yogurt and a slice of lime to squeeze onto the oats later.

Tips For Making Blueberry Lime Overnight Oats

Using rolled oats gives the best texture for overnight oats because they soften slowly while still holding a bit of bite. Stirring everything well before it goes into the fridge helps the oats soak evenly so each spoonful has the same flavor. Letting it rest overnight gives the blueberries time to release their juice and blend into the oats for a naturally sweet taste.
