Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 large spoon
  • 2 containers with lids

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (90g) rolled or old fashioned oats
  • 4 teaspoons chia seeds, optional
  • 1½ cup (360 ml) milk of choice
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries, divided

Instructions
 

  • Add the oats and chia seeds into a large mixing bowl or evenly divide and add the oats and chia seeds into 2 individual containers. Whisk the oats and chia seeds to combine. 
    1 cup (90g) rolled or old fashioned oats, 4 teaspoons chia seeds, optional
  • Add the milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract to the oats and chia seeds. Mix well to combine. Stir in ¾ cup blueberries if you like. Reserve the remaining ¼ cup blueberries for topping.
    If the blueberries are firm, they should be fine to soak overnight. If the blueberries are a little soft or you are using frozen blueberries, wait to stir the blueberries into the mixture until you are ready to serve the overnight oats. Transfer the overnight oats mixture to 2 containers if you like.
    1½ cup (360 ml) milk of choice, 3 tablespoons (45 ml) maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract , 1 cup blueberries, divided
  • Cover the bowl or the individual containers. Transfer the blueberry overnight oats to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Soaking the overnight oats with blueberries overnight yields the best, creamiest and thickest results. 
  • When it’s time to serve, top the overnight blueberry oats with your preferred toppings and enjoy. I love topping mine with more fresh blueberries, shredded coconut and sliced almonds.

Notes

Store: Place the overnight blueberry oats in an airtight container for up to 4 -5  days in the fridge. 
Serve: Top the chilled blueberry overnight oats with your preferred toppings such as more fresh berries, granola, shredded coconut, seeds or cocoa nibs.
Tip: For thicker overnight oats, add greek yogurt. Reduce the milk to 1 cup total and add 1 cup of greek yogurt.
See the Variations section of the blog post to make blueberry overnight oats as blended oats or with bluebery milk.
