Ingredients For Overnight Oats with Blueberries
- Oats- old fashioned oats are ideal.
- Chia seeds - the ultimate superfood packed with fiber and other health benefits.
- Unsweetened almond milk - a great dairy-free option to soak up the oats.
- Vanilla extract - for a rich vanilla flavor.
- Almond extract - for some nutty sweetness.
- Blueberries - fresh are best, but frozen blueberries work great too.
- Sweetener - as desired from your preferred brand.
How to Make Blueberry Overnight Oats
1. Combine your wet ingredients. In a large bowl, add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract and mix everything together.
2. Add the dry ingredients. Fold in your oats and chia seeds. You'll want to stir well to make sure the oats are nice and evenly combined with the milk.
3. Refrigerate overnight. Cover the bowl with a lid or tightly with foil, and allow the oat mixture to soak overnight. In the morning, remove the lid and stir up the oats before serving with more fresh blueberries on top. Enjoy!
Blueberry Overnight Oats Recipe Variations
- If you are looking to incorporate some extra protein into your breakfast, you can simply opt for a high protein milk or add a low calorie protein powder to your oat mixture.
- For a creamier texture, try adding Greek yogurt or your choice of nut butter to the overnight oats before letting them soak in the fridge overnight.
- When choosing a sweetener to add to your overnight oats, opt for something low in sugar, like sugar free maple syrup, stevia, or liquid allulose.
Storing Instructions
In the fridge: These blueberry overnight oats can be refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container. I recommend storing the blueberries separately to ensure they are nice and fresh when you are ready to enjoy your oats again. Then just give it all a stir and dig in!
In the freezer: If you have a larger batch that you would like to store for a longer period of time, simply place the overnight oats in a freezer-safe container and freeze them for up to 3 months. Just be sure to allow the oats to defrost overnight before stirring and serving.
