These Blueberry Overnight Oats are a game-changer, with a deliciously creamy texture and a sweet-tart burst of blueberries in every bite. Plus, they’re ridiculously easy to make and perfect for meal prep or on-the-go snacking.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats,
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk,
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt,
• 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen),
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup,
• 1/4 cup chia seeds,
• 1/4 teaspoon salt,
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract,
• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (optional),
• 2 cups fresh blueberries, confectioners’ sugar (optional)

Instructions

Start by adding the oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything together until it’s smooth and well combined.

Add in the vanilla extract and whisk for another second or two, just until it’s fully incorporated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight – that’s where the magic happens! Once the oats have chilled, stir in the mixed berries. You can use fresh or frozen, whichever is convenient for you.

If you’re feeling extra fancy, stir in the softened butter until it’s fully incorporated and the oats are creamy and indulgent.

To assemble the overnight oats, divide them among 10 cups or containers. You can use small mason jars, glass cups, or even plastic cups – whatever you’ve got on hand.

Top each cup with a spoonful of fresh blueberries.

You can use as many or as few as you like, depending on how blueberry-obsessed you are. If you want to get extra fancy, sprinkle a pinch of confectioners’ sugar over the top of the blueberries.

It’s optional, but trust me, it’s a game-changer.

Cover the cups with lids or plastic wrap and pop them back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve the blueberry overnight oats chilled, and get ready for a delicious breakfast that’s perfect for meal prep or on-the-go snacking!

Notes

Make sure to use high-quality ingredients, like fresh and plump blueberries, to get the best flavor out of this recipe. If using frozen berries, thaw them first and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

You can customize the amount of honey or maple syrup to your taste, depending on how sweet you like your oats.

For a creamier texture, use more Greek yogurt and less almond milk. If you’re planning to add the softened butter, make sure it’s at room temperature to ensure it incorporates smoothly.

These overnight oats are perfect for meal prep, so feel free to prepare them ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Also, you can swap the mixed berries with other fruits like strawberries or raspberries to change up the flavor.
