Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk Can substitute with coconut milk or oat milk.
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) Feel free to swap with other fruits.
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Use maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, add the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds (if using), honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  2. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Transfer the mixture into individual jars or a large container. Make sure to leave a little space at the top for the oats to expand as they soak.
  4. Seal the jars tightly and place them in the fridge. Allow them to soak overnight (or at least 6 hours) so that the oats soften and absorb the flavors.
  5. In the morning, give the oats a good stir, taste for sweetness, and add more honey or maple syrup if desired. Enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl, and top with additional blueberries or your favorite nuts!

Notes

Store your Blueberry Lemon Overnight Oats in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed chilled, but can be warmed in the microwave with a splash of almond milk if preferred.
