Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Find a mason jar or a small airtight container. Add the old-fashioned rolled oats, your choice of milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt. Use a spoon to stir everything together until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Ensure no dry oats remain at the bottom of the jar.
- Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the oat mixture. If you prefer a purple-swirled aesthetic, stir them vigorously to break a few berries and release their juices. If you like whole bursts of fruit, just give it one or two gentle turns. Seal the container tightly with a lid to keep the oats fresh and prevent them from absorbing other odors in the fridge.
- Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though leaving it overnight for 8 hours yields the best, creamiest texture. In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of extra milk to loosen it up. Top with a few extra fresh blueberries or a sprinkle of granola for crunch, and enjoy your effortless breakfast.
