Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Layer:
- 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Overnight Oats:
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 cups water or milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or blueberry flavored)
- 2–3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Layer: Place blueberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 1 minute until the blueberries begin to soften and release their juice. Mash lightly with the back of a spoon if you prefer a more jam-like consistency. Allow to cool, then store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Make the Overnight Oats: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, water or milk, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is uniform.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy texture.
- Serve: In a mason jar or small serving glass, start with a layer of the blueberry compote, then spoon the overnight oats on top. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- For creamier oats, use milk instead of water.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted to taste or substituted with honey or agave.
- Use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan-friendly option.
- Blueberry compote can be made ahead and stored up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
- Adding nuts or seeds on top boosts protein and healthy fats.
