Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120 ml) blueberries (fresh or frozen, plus extra for topping)
- ½ cup (120 ml) oats (old-fashioned rolled)
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) chia seeds or ground flaxseeds
- 1 tsp (5 ml) honey or maple syrup
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar, thoroughly blend rolled oats, Greek yogurt, blueberries, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until uniformly mixed, ensuring all components are well incorporated.
- Chill and Develop: Securely seal the container and refrigerate for 6-8 hours, allowing the oats to absorb liquid and develop a rich, creamy consistency, transforming the raw ingredients into a harmonious breakfast preparation.
- Final Touch and Serve: Gently stir the chilled mixture, adjusting texture with milk if needed, then top with additional fresh blueberries, sliced almonds, and a delicate honey drizzle to elevate the visual and flavor profile of your morning meal.
Notes
- Choose Ripe Blueberries: Select plump, deep blue berries without wrinkles or soft spots to ensure maximum flavor and natural sweetness in your overnight oats.
- Control Liquid Consistency: Add milk gradually when preparing or in the morning to prevent overly runny or too thick texture, achieving the perfect creamy consistency.
- Boost Nutritional Value: Experiment by incorporating additional superfoods like protein powder, hemp seeds, or collagen for enhanced nutritional benefits without compromising taste.
- Storage Smart: Prepare multiple jars in advance and store in refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, creating convenient grab-and-go breakfast options for busy mornings.
