Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Oats
- 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)
To Serve
- 80 g dark chocolate (Melted and slightly cooled)
- ½ tbsp coconut oil (Optional; helps thin chocolate)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, milk, frozen blueberries, yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup (if using), and salt to a high-speed blender.
- Blend Mixture: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling a thick batter.
- Layer Blueberries: Divide the fresh or frozen blueberries evenly between 4 jars or containers as a base layer.
- Pour Oat Mixture: Pour the blended oat mixture over the blueberries in each jar, gently smoothing the tops for an even layer.
- Add Chocolate Topping: If using, stir the melted dark chocolate together with coconut oil until combined, then pour over the oat mixture in each container.
- Chill: 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.
- Serve: Enjoy your chilled blueberry overnight oats cold, straight from the fridge for a refreshing and satisfying meal.
