Blueberry Overnight Oats: Easy, Healthy, & Delicious Breakfast Recipe
Blueberry overnight oats are a quick, nutritious, and customizable breakfast option that can be prepped ahead of time. Packed with fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats, this recipe is perfect for busy mornings and keeps you full until your next meal.
Ingredients
- ½ cup traditional rolled oats avoid instant oats
- ½ cup milk of choice dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk
- ¼ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tbsp chia seeds optional for extra fiber and omega-3s
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional for sweetness
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract optional for added flavor
Instructions
- Step 1: Mix It Up
- Grab a mason jar or any airtight container. Toss in your rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Give it a good stir to combine everything.
- Step 2: Add the Stars of the Show
- Gently fold in those juicy blueberries. If you’re using frozen berries, don’t bother thawing them—they’ll soften beautifully overnight.
- Step 3: Seal and Chill
- Pop the lid on tight and stash your creation in the fridge. Let it sit for at least 6 hours (or overnight) so the oats can soak up all that goodness.
- Step 4: Wake Up and Enjoy
- In the morning, give your oats a quick stir. If they seem too thick, splash in a bit more milk. Top with fresh blueberries, nuts, granola, or even a dollop of yogurt for extra flair.
- And voilà—you’ve got yourself a bowl of pure breakfast bliss.
Notes
- Use rolled oats (not instant oats) for the best texture.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Customize toppings like nuts, granola, or yogurt to suit your taste.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
