Total Time: 8 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Stir well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the oats.
- Pour in 2 cups of almond milk and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be creamy and smooth.
- Add 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to the mixture. Stir again to incorporate the sweetener, adjusting the amount based on your desired level of sweetness.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, you can add them directly without thawing, as they will soften overnight.
- Once all ingredients are combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual jars or containers with lids.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 8 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a thick and creamy texture.
- In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the overnight oats in bowls or jars, and top with additional blueberries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.
- Enjoy your healthy blueberry overnight oats chia seeds as a nutritious breakfast or snack!
Tips
- Use fresh, rolled oats for the best texture and absorption. Avoid instant oats, which can become too mushy.
- For maximum nutrition, choose organic blueberries and consider using a mix of fresh and frozen berries.
- Experiment with milk alternatives like coconut milk or oat milk for different flavor profiles.
- Always refrigerate your overnight oats for at least 8 hours to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
- Prep multiple servings in advance for an entire week of quick, healthy breakfasts.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the milk slightly or add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Get creative with toppings! Try adding sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein.
