Instructions for Blueberry Overnight Oats

Step 1: Mix the Base
In a jar or bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1/2 tsp real vanilla, a pinch of sea salt, honey and 1/2 cup of your favorite milk. Stir well to mix everything evenly.

Step 2: Add Blueberries
Stir in about a 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries. Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the fridge overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.

Step 3: Top and Serve
In the morning, give your oats a good stir. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries, 1 tbsp Greek yogurt, and any other toppings you love, like granola or nuts. Enjoy cold or warm it up if you prefer! Add more milk if you want it extra creamy.

Tips for Making Blueberry Overnight Oats

1. Can You Use Frozen Blueberries?

Frozen blueberries work perfectly for overnight oats. They thaw overnight, releasing their juices and adding extra flavor to your oats. Here’s a really good article about freezing fresh blueberries.

2. Don’t Skip the Chia Seeds

Chia seeds help thicken your oats and add a boost of fiber and nutrients. If you don’t have chia seeds, ground flaxseeds are a great substitute.

3. Sweeten to Taste

Add a drizzle of manuka honey or more maple syrup to suit your taste. Adjust the sweetness depending on how ripe your blueberries are. I like to add a drizzle to the top. It’s especially yummy when the oats are warmed up.

4. Use Your Favorite Milk

You can use any milk you like—almond, oat, soy, or regular dairy milk. Each one will give the oats a slightly different flavor, so pick your favorite.

For extra creamy blueberries and cream overnight oats, you can use 18% cream which makes it really thick!

5. Experiment with Toppings

Before serving, sprinkle on extra toppings like granola, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or a dollop of vanilla yogurt to make it even more delicious!

If you are really in a rush, you can add the fresh blueberries to the top while it’s setting up overnight. I find that blueberries don’t tend to soak up too much liquid if they are sitting on the top of the oats.

Blueberry Overnight Oats Variations

Add Almond Extract

Add a touch of almond extract for a flavor boost, and don’t forget to sprinkle in some chia seeds for extra texture.

Blueberry Overnight Oats with Homemade Yogurt

For an extra creamy texture, try these with homemade yogurt. Layer your oats with yogurt, milk, and fresh or frozen blueberries for a parfait-style breakfast.

Blueberry Cinnamon Overnight Oats
