🔪 How to Make Blueberry Overnight Oats
Add the blueberries, honey, water and lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium low heat.
Simmer for 4-5 minutes or until the blueberries have softened and given up their juices.
Remove from the heat and set aside to allow them to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, add in the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds and vanilla extract.
Once the blueberries have cooled, add them to the mixture and mix until well combined.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight is best.
When you’re ready to serve, top with some fresh blueberries, toasted almonds and a drizzle of honey.
💡 Tips
- Use rolled oats, not quick oats, for the best creamy texture.
- Let the oats chill overnight for the thickest, creamiest consistency.
- If the oats are too thick in the morning, add a splash of coconut milk before serving.
- Taste before serving and add more honey if you like extra sweetness.
☑️ Storage Instructions
Fridge: Store leftover in jars or airtight containers for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze in jars without toppings for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Milk: Swap coconut milk with almond milk or oat milk for a different flavor.
- Nut butter: Add a layer of Pecan Cashew Butter or all-natural Peanut Butter before chilling for extra richness.
- Coconut: Add shredded coconut for a tropical spin.
- Maple: Use maple syrup instead of honey if you want a vegan option.
- Protein: Stir in a little protein powder for a more filling post-workout snack.
- Topping: Top with some of this Homemade Granola for added for crunch.
Can I Use Steel Cut Oats Instead of Rolled Oats?
Not for this recipe, they stay too chewy. Rolled oats soften best overnight.
Do I Need to Cook the Oats First?
Nope, they soften perfectly as they soak.
Can I Skip the Chia Seeds?
Yes, but they help thicken the oats and add nutrients.
Why Are My Oats So Runny?
They probably didn’t sit long enough. Give them a full 8 hours.
What’s the Best Jar Size for Overnight Oats?
Eight-ounce mason jars are perfect for single servings.
Can I Double the Recipe?
Absolutely, just scale everything up and use a large mixing bowl.
