Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blueberry jam or puree
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk or any milk of your choice
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granola or crispy oats
Instructions
Evening Prep:
- Layer the Jam: Spoon the blueberry jam or puree into the bottom of a glass jar or container, creating an even layer.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add Oat Mixture: Pour the oat mixture over the blueberry jam layer in the jar, spreading it evenly.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
Morning Finishing Touches:
- Top with Blueberries: In the morning, remove the jar from the refrigerator. Top the oats with fresh blueberries and sprinkle with granola or crispy oats for a delightful crunch.
- Enjoy: Enjoy your blueberry overnight oats straight from the jar, or transfer them to a bowl if you prefer.
