Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Sauce
- ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen, preferably wild blueberries)
- 1 tsp maple syrup or preferred sweetener
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp cornstarch
Overnight Oats
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk of choice
- 2 Tbsp spreadable or whipped cream cheese (softened)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Garnish
- 1–2 Tbsp crushed graham crackers
- Lemon zest (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Sauce: In a small microwave-safe dish, combine blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Microwave in 30-second increments for about 1½ to 2 minutes, stirring after each interval, until the blueberries begin to burst and the mixture thickens.
- Thicken the Sauce: Mash some of the blueberries gently to release their juices and stir. Microwave for an additional 15-20 seconds, then stir again. Continue heating in 15-second bursts if needed until the sauce reaches a thick consistency. Note that frozen berries may require slightly longer heating.
- Mix Overnight Oats: In a bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, lemon juice, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure the cream cheese is well incorporated.
- Combine Blueberry Sauce and Oats: Spoon the prepared blueberry sauce over the oat mixture or stir it in completely based on your preference. Letting the oats chill for about an hour before adding the sauce will help it sit better on top after thickening.
- Chill and Serve: Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Enjoy the oats cold or warmed up. Garnish with lemon zest and optional crushed graham crackers before serving for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries can be used and may require longer microwaving to burst and thicken.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity to suit preferred sweetness.
- Lemon zest adds a bright finishing touch when garnishing.
- Crushed graham crackers are optional but add a delightful crunch and cheesecake-like flavor.
- The oats can be eaten cold straight from the fridge or gently warmed depending on preference.
