Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, blueberries, lemon zest, and nuts if using. Thaw and drain blueberries if frozen.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in blueberries and lemon zest. Stir just enough to distribute without mashing the berries.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly into 2-3 mason jars or airtight containers (about 8oz each). Top with nuts if using.
  5. Seal jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, stir the oats well. Top with extra blueberries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey if desired. Enjoy chilled or microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer warm oats.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified GF oats. Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt for dairy-free/vegan. Adjust sweetness to taste. Nuts are best added just before serving for crunch. Oats thicken as they sit; add extra milk if needed. Can be made with other fruits like raspberries or peaches. Keeps up to 4 days in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer.
