How to make Blueberry Overnight Oats

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup old fashioned or rolled oats
• 2 tsp chia seeds
• 2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2/3 cup milk of your choice or water
• 2 tsp lemon zest – optional

Optional Toppings:

• Fresh berries
• Whipped cream
• Lemon slice

Directions:

1. Add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 2 tsp chia seeds, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/4 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup blueberries, 2/3 cup milk and 2 tsp lemon zest (if desired) into a mason jar or bowl.
2. Stir to combine the ingredients, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
3. When you’re ready to eat the oats, remove from the fridge. You’ll see that the oats absorbed a lot of the liquid, so you might want to add a little more water or milk of your choice before eating.
4. If desired, top with additional fresh berries and/or a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy cold!
5. These blueberry overnight oats keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes:

• Blueberries add wonderful texture and color. You can use fresh or frozen berries! I love using frozen berries because they naturally color the oats and give them a beautiful look once mixed in.
• Make your oats in a sealable container like a mason jar!
• Feel free to double this recipe or make multiple jars to last the entire week.
• These blueberry overnight oats stay good in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• If you like your oatmeal a bit thinner, I suggest adding a splash of water or your favorite milk before eating.
• Top your overnight oats with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries to take them to the next level.
• While oats are naturally gluten-free, not all are processed in wheat-free facilities. Be sure to check your package. Be sure to use gluten-free oats.
