Blueberry Muffins Overnight Oats Vegan
Description
This recipe creates a blueberry muffin-inspired overnight oats dish by first simmering blueberries with lemon juice, zest, sugar, a pinch of salt, and water to form a compote. The compote is mashed to release juices and thickens slightly. Separately, rolled oats and chia seeds are mixed with warmed plant-based milk, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and sweetener, then chilled to thicken.
The oat mixture is layered with the blueberry compote in jars and topped with fresh berries and toasted nuts or seeds, providing a combination of creamy, fruity, and crunchy textures. Chilling overnight allows the oats and chia to absorb liquid and soften for easy eating.
Served chilled, this preparation offers a vegan, gluten-free breakfast or snack that echoes the flavors of blueberry muffins without baking. The fresh lemon zest and vanilla provide brightness and warmth, while the compote adds natural sweetness and fruit concentration.
The oats can be stored refrigerated for up to three days, allowing for convenient advance preparation. Other grain flakes or berries may be substituted to vary the flavor profile. Mixing directly in jars or in a bowl before transfer gives flexibility in presentation and portioning.

Instructions
- To make the Blueberry Compote,combine all the Blueberry Compote ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Mash the Blueberries, and continue to cook until tender and the mixture thickens a bit.

- Mix and chill for 15 minutes. This will help thicken the mixture, so that it's easier to pour into your overnight jars. (If it hasn’t thickened to preference, add in 1-3 tbsp more oats and a tsp or so more chia seeds and let sit again)
- Pour your compote into 2 or 3 jars, depending on the size.
