Blackberry Protein Overnight Oats
Description
In this recipe, blackberries are gently heated and broken down into a thick, chunky jam, which is layered with a mixture of rolled oats, chia seeds, soy milk, and vanilla protein powder in jars. The oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid overnight, creating a creamy consistency with a bit of texture from the seeds. The layering combines the fresh, slightly tart blackberry flavor with the mild, creamy oats and a protein boost from the powder. Reserved whole blackberries garnish the top, adding fresh fruit texture.
This preparation allows for a balanced, nutrient-rich breakfast that can be prepared in advance and eaten chilled. The ingredient measurements can be precisely weighed for consistency. The oats soften without losing their structure, while the blackberries add natural sweetness and antioxidants.
You can substitute other soft fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries, including frozen options, for variety. Preparing fruit by slicing or heating reduces cooking time and helps fruit integration. Using a food scale for measuring ingredients simplifies preparation and cleanup.
Ingredients
- ½ pint blackberry 170g; see Note 1
- 1 cup rolled oats (100g)
- ¼ cup chia seeds (45g)
- 2½ cups soy milk 600g *can sub with milk of your choice, homemade
- ½ cup protein powder 45g; roughly 2 scoops, vanilla
Instructions
- Add all except a small handful of blackberries to a small saucepan on medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking apart the blackberries with your spatula, until mixture resembles a chunky jam.
- Meanwhile, mix together the rest of the ingredients (oats, chia seeds, milk, protein powder) in a bowl.
- Spoon a layer of the bowl mixture into the bottom of each mason jar. Follow by spooning in a layer of the blackberry mixture. Repeat this layering until all the ingredients have been used up.
- Top with reserved whole blackberries. Chill for at least 2 hours before eating.
Notes
- Substitute blackberries with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or other soft fruits, including frozen varieties.
- Slicing larger fruits like strawberries before heating helps them break down faster.
- Weighing ingredients yields consistent results and reduces cleanup compared to volume measuring.
