Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (pure vanilla for best flavor)
- 1/3 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tsp chia seeds (adds thickness and nutrition)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best for texture)
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup full fat Greek yogurt (I use Fage for creaminess)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined to form a creamy mixture.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, reserving a few for topping if desired.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats again and add any additional toppings such as extra blueberries or a drizzle of maple syrup before serving cold.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability.
- For a completely dairy-free option, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup according to your preference.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a convenient meal prep option.
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture, as instant oats can become too mushy.
