Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
Seed/Binding Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Sweetener:
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate rolled oats, chia seeds, almond milk, and maple syrup. Whisk thoroughly until ingredients form a harmonious blend, ensuring chia seeds distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Securely seal the container with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. This resting period allows oats to absorb liquid and chia seeds to expand, transforming the mixture into a luxurious, pudding-like consistency.
- After 8-12 hours of chilling, remove from refrigerator and gently fold in most of the fresh blueberries, reserving a few for elegant garnishing.
- Transfer the creamy mixture into individual serving containers, creating artistic layers if desired. Enhance presentation by sprinkling reserved blueberries, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes on top for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve chilled and indulge immediately, appreciating the harmonious blend of creamy oats, plump blueberries, and subtle maple sweetness. This nutrient-dense breakfast promises a delightful morning experience.
Notes
- Swap almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk to customize the recipe for different dietary preferences.
- Boost protein content by adding a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to the base mixture for a more filling breakfast.
- Freeze extra blueberries in advance to create a chilled, refreshing version of the overnight oats during warmer months.
- Use frozen blueberries if fresh aren’t available, ensuring the same burst of flavor and nutritional benefits.
