Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk, stirring thoroughly to ensure all oats are well-coated and moistened.
- Add maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the oat mixture, whisking gently to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the mixture.
- Gently fold in half of the fresh blueberries, lightly crushing some to release their natural juices and create a swirled effect in the oatmeal.
- Cover the bowl with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap, ensuring a complete seal to prevent moisture loss.
- Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator and allow the oats to soak and soften overnight, typically for 6-8 hours.
- In the morning, remove the oatmeal from the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients.
- Top the chilled oatmeal with the remaining fresh blueberries, creating an attractive and appetizing presentation.
- Optional: For added texture and flavor, sprinkle a few extra cinnamon and whole blueberries on top before serving.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator and enjoy your creamy, fruity Blueberry Pie Overnight Oatmeal.
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh, plump blueberries and high-quality almond milk. You can also substitute with your favorite milk if desired.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the maple syrup to your taste. If you prefer a less sweet oatmeal, start with half the amount and add more if needed.
- Make It Ahead: Prepare multiple servings at once! This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled, making it perfect for meal prep for the week.
- Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Consider adding chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or a dollop of yogurt for added texture and flavor.
- Adjust the Consistency: If you prefer a creamier oatmeal, add a splash more almond milk in the morning before serving to reach your desired consistency.
- Flavor Variations: Try adding a spoonful of nut butter or a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra nutrition and a different flavor profile.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before enjoying again!
