Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup full fat Greek yogurt (such as Fage)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or a jar, add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup full fat Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup blueberries, 1 tsp chia seeds, 2 tsp maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients well until evenly combined, ensuring the oats and chia seeds are well incorporated to start thickening.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Add additional almond milk if desired for a thinner consistency. Enjoy cold or warmed slightly if preferred.
Notes
- For creaminess without dairy, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries according to preference; no need to thaw frozen blueberries before adding.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Chia seeds not only add thickness but also provide additional fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Make a batch ahead to save time on busy mornings — these oats keep well refrigerated up to 3 days.
