Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 306kcal
Equipment
- 2 small mason jars or glass jars
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats (old fashioned or quick cook can be used)
- ¾ cup fresh blueberries (*see note for frozen)
- 1½ cups milk of choice (I use oat or other dairy-free milk)
- 1½ tablespoon chia seeds
- 1½ tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- In a large bowl or container, thoroughly mix together all ingredients until combined.
- [OR, to optionally make your oats a purple/blue colour: first blend ½ cup blueberries and milk in high speed blender until completely smooth. Then mix blended milk into oats, chia, maple and remaining blueberries in a large bowl.]
- Cover bowl/container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until mixture has thickened.
- Divide between two jars or small bowls, and optionally serve topped with any of the following: granola, seeds, cacao nibs, toasted coconut or extra blueberries.
Notes
If using frozen instead of fresh berries, note that their colour will leak. This isn't a problem - you'll just end up with blueish/purple overnight oats!
Other berries - You're welcome to switch out blueberries for any other kind of berry. Raspberries, strawberries or blackberries all work really well.
Low sugar option - Use a low sugar sweetener, less maple syrup or skip the sweetener altogether to make these oats low sugar. (The blueberries do provide a little sweetness.)
Gluten free option - Be sure to use certified gluten free oats.
