Blueberry Overnight Oats Recipe
Description
The Blueberry Overnight Oats recipe features plain Greek yogurt and rolled oats as a creamy base soaked in unsweetened almond milk. The addition of lemon juice adds a slight brightness while chia seeds contribute texture and nutrition. Blueberries, either fresh or frozen, provide bursts of juicy sweetness and a fruity tartness. Vanilla extract and a pinch of salt deepen the flavor, balanced by optional honey or maple syrup for sweetness. These ingredients are mixed thoroughly and refrigerated at least four hours to soften the oats.
Overnight soaking yields a soft yet hearty texture that contrasts pleasantly with the tender blueberries. The dish is served cold, making it a refreshing and satisfying start to the day especially when in a hurry. The flavor is lightly sweet with subtle tanginess from the yogurt and lemon.
If using frozen blueberries, reducing the almond milk slightly helps maintain the desired thickness as the fruit releases liquid when thawed. This recipe allows customization of sweetness and ingredients to suit dietary preferences and availability.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup yogurt plain, Greek
- ½ cup rolled oats heaping
- ⅔ cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup blueberries see notes, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxmeal
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 0-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Spoon into a pint or half liter jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Close and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, before eating.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, reduce the almond milk slightly to compensate for extra liquid released during defrosting.
