Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (Approx. 240g)
- ½ cup milk of choice (Any plant-based or dairy milk; approx. 125ml)
- 1 cup frozen blueberries (Approx. 150g)
- 1 cup thick natural or Greek yogurt (I use soy; approx. 250g)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (Approx. 8g)
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup (Optional; approx. 5–10g)
- ⅛ tsp salt (Approx. 0.25g)
Toppings
- 1 cup blueberries (Fresh or frozen)
- 80 g dark chocolate (Melted and slightly cooled)
- ½ tbsp coconut oil (Optional; helps thin chocolate)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Combine rolled oats, milk, frozen blueberries, yogurt, vanilla extract, optional maple syrup, and salt in a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high power until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling a thick batter.
- Prepare Jars: Distribute fresh or frozen blueberries evenly into four jars or containers.
- Pour Oat Mixture: Pour the blended oat batter over the blueberries in each jar and gently smooth the tops for an even surface.
- Melt Chocolate Topping: If using, mix melted dark chocolate with coconut oil until fully combined, then pour this chocolate layer over each jar's oat mixture.
- Refrigerate to Set: Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 1½ hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Serve Chilled: Enjoy your blueberry overnight oats straight from the fridge, no additional preparation needed.
Notes
- Use any milk you prefer such as almond, soy, or dairy milk to suit your dietary needs.
- Maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted to taste or omitted for less sweetness.
- The coconut oil in the chocolate topping helps achieve a smoother consistency but can be skipped if desired.
- This recipe is best prepared the night before to allow the oats to soak fully and develop flavor.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
