Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and almond milk, ensuring all oats are well-submerged in the liquid.
- Add chia seeds to the oat mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour in vanilla extract and almond butter, whisking gently to create a smooth, consistent texture.
- If desired, add maple syrup for a touch of natural sweetness, mixing well to incorporate.
- Gently fold in half of the fresh blueberries, allowing them to slightly crush and release their natural juices into the oat mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into two individual mason jars or sealed containers.
- Refrigerate the overnight oats for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften completely.
- Before serving, give the oats a gentle stir to redistribute any settled ingredients.
- Top the chilled oats with remaining fresh blueberries and an optional sprinkle of extra chia seeds or sliced almonds for added texture.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator and enjoy your nutritious, no-sugar-added breakfast.
Tips
- Choose the Right Oats: Always use rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) for the best texture. Quick oats can become too mushy, while steel-cut oats won't soften properly.
- Liquid Ratio is Key: Maintain a 1:2 ratio of oats to liquid for the perfect creamy consistency. Feel free to adjust slightly based on your preference.
- Customize Your Sweetness: While this recipe is naturally sweetened, you can experiment with alternatives like stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or a small amount of honey if desired.
- Prevent Separation: Give your overnight oats a good stir before serving to redistribute ingredients and ensure a consistent texture.
- Storage Matters: These overnight oats can be prepared up to 3-4 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making meal prep a breeze.
- Add Crunch: For extra texture, add a sprinkle of sliced almonds, chopped nuts, or granola just before serving.
- Temperature Tip: Always serve chilled for the best flavor and texture experience.
