Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats Approx. 240g
- ½ cup milk of choice Any plant-based or dairy milk; approx. 125ml
- 1 cup frozen blueberries Approx. 150g
- 1 cup thick natural or Greek yogurt I use soy; approx. 250g
- 2 tsp vanilla extract Approx. 8g
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup Optional; approx. 5–10g
- ⅛ tsp salt Approx. 0.25g
- 1 cup blueberries Fresh or frozen
- 80 g dark chocolate Melted and slightly cooled
- ½ tbsp coconut oil Optional; helps thin chocolate
Instructions
Preparation
- Add rolled oats, milk, frozen blueberries, yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup (if using), and salt to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling a thick batter.
- Divide the fresh or frozen blueberries evenly between 4 jars or containers as a base layer.
- Pour the blended oat mixture over the blueberries in each jar, gently smoothing the tops for an even layer.
- If using, stir the melted dark chocolate together with coconut oil until combined, then pour over the oat mixture in each container.
- Seal the jars or containers and refrigerate for at least 1½ hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats to fully set and absorb the flavors.
Serving
- Serve with a sprinkle of additional fresh blueberries on top for an extra burst of flavor.
- You can also add a handful of nuts or seeds for a satisfying crunch.
- Pair it with a side of seasonal fruit or a yogurt parfait for a well-rounded breakfast.
Storage
- Store any leftover blueberry overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- They can be frozen in airtight containers for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and enjoy chilled, or microwave for a quick reheat.
Notes
For a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of milk slightly in the blended mixture. Use different types of yogurt such as almond, coconut, or traditional dairy for varied flavors. You can swap blueberries with other berries or fruits. Add more melted chocolate drizzle for a decadent treat.
