Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added fiber and omega-3s)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for a pie-like flavor)
- Pinch of salt
Fruit and Toppings
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Fresh blueberries (for topping)
- Sliced almonds, granola, or crushed graham crackers (for a “pie crust” crunch)
- A drizzle of maple syrup or honey (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oatmeal Base: In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds if using, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg if using, and a pinch of salt. This mix forms the flavorful base of your overnight oats.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the ingredients well to ensure everything is evenly combined, helping the oats absorb flavors evenly for a creamy texture.
- Add the Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. Frozen ones can be added directly, as they will thaw overnight and infuse the mixture with vibrant blueberry flavor.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover your jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This step allows the oats to soak, soften, and meld with the flavors.
- Prepare to Serve: In the morning, take out the oats and give them a good stir. Add extra almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency to suit your taste.
- Add the Toppings: Top your oats with additional fresh blueberries, sliced almonds, granola, or crushed graham crackers to add a delightful crunch reminiscent of a pie crust. Drizzle a little more maple syrup or honey if desired for extra sweetness.
- Enjoy: Savor this healthy and satisfying blueberry pie-inspired breakfast that’s perfect for busy mornings or a wholesome treat any time of day.
Notes
- Chia seeds are optional but add a nice boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Use frozen blueberries if fresh are not available; they add a lovely natural color and sweetness once thawed.
- Adjust sweetness with maple syrup, honey, or any sweetener you prefer to your taste.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey and any plant-based milk.
- This recipe can be prepared in advance for busy mornings and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor balance of the oats.
- The pie spices (cinnamon and nutmeg) are key to creating the blueberry pie flavor profile.
