A simple and nutritious Blueberry Overnight Oatmeal recipe perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast. This easy-to-make no-cook oatmeal combines rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, and fresh or frozen blueberries, providing a delicious and wholesome start to your day. It’s naturally sweetened with banana and can be optionally enhanced with pure maple syrup.

Ingredients

Oat Base

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite milk)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 small banana, mashed

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • Pure maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a 16-ounce mason jar, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, pure vanilla extract, and mashed banana. Mix these ingredients well to ensure the oats and chia seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid.
  2. Add Blueberries: Place the blueberries on top of the oat mixture without stirring them in. This layering helps maintain their texture and freshness overnight.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar tightly with its lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture soak overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats to combine the blueberries with the soaked oats. If desired, add extra milk or a drizzle of pure maple syrup to loosen the consistency and add sweetness. Enjoy cold straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
