Description
A delicious and nutritious overnight oats recipe that combines the flavors of blueberry pie with healthy ingredients, perfect for a quick breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats or large flake oats
- 1 cup almond milk or other plant-based milk
- ½ cup coconut yogurt or any non-dairy yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or raw honey
- 1 lemon zest (optional)
- ½ cup granola (your favorite blend)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup of almond milk, ½ cup of coconut yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Add a pinch of lemon zest for a bright note. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl and let it rest for a few minutes while you prepare the next step.
- If you prefer a touch of natural sweetness, mash a ripe banana in a separate bowl, then stir it into the oat mixture from Step 1. Once mixed, make sure everything is combined well before moving on to the fruit.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries into the oat mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout. Cover the bowl again and place it in the refrigerator.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or raw honey), along with a splash of lemon juice and a dash of vanilla extract. Stir frequently.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- After the oat mixture has chilled overnight (about 4-6 hours), take it out of the refrigerator and give it a good stir.
- Top each serving with a generous spoonful of the blueberry chia compote and a sprinkle of your favorite granola for that perfect crunchy finish.
Notes
- This recipe can be made vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
- Feel free to substitute different fruits for variety.
