Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make blueberry sauce:  In small saucepan over medium heat add blueberries, lemon juice and maple syrup. Cook down until juices release, about 8 minutes, then begin mashing with the back of a wooden spoon and continue simmering for another 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat to cool.
  2. Make overnight oats: Add wet ingredients to a medium bowl – yogurt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract; stir well until combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in oats, chia seeds and pinch of ground cinnamon.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. You can portion into individual servings or store in larger bowl.
  5. Enjoy: In the morning, taste test for consistency – you can stir in a couple splashes of milk if you’d like it thinner. Enjoy hot or cold with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • STORAGE – Overnight oats will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge. The oats will soften and thicken as they sit, so you may have to add a splash or two of milk on days 4-5.
