Ingredients
Oat Base
- 2 cups rolled oats (Approx. 240g)
- ½ cup milk of choice (Any plant-based or dairy milk; approx. 125ml)
- 1 cup frozen blueberries (Approx. 150g)
- 1 cup thick natural or Greek yogurt (I use soy; approx. 250g)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (Approx. 8g)
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup (Optional; approx. 5–10g)
- ⅛ tsp salt (Approx. 0.25g)
Toppings
- 1 cup blueberries (Fresh or frozen)
- 80 g dark chocolate (Melted and slightly cooled)
- ½ tbsp coconut oil (Optional; helps thin chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blend: Add rolled oats, milk, frozen blueberries, yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup (if using), and salt to a high-speed blender to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Blend Thoroughly: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling a thick batter, ensuring the oats and frozen blueberries are fully incorporated.
- Layer Blueberries: Divide the fresh or frozen blueberries evenly between 4 jars or containers as the base layer for texture and flavor contrast.
- Pour Oat Mixture: Pour the blended oat batter over the blueberries in each container, then gently smooth the surface with a spoon or spatula.
- Prepare Chocolate Topping: If using, stir the melted dark chocolate together with coconut oil until well combined and slightly thinned for easy pouring, then drizzle over the top of each container.
- Chill to Set: Seal the containers securely and refrigerate for at least 1½ hours or overnight to let the oats absorb moisture and flavors fully while chilling the dessert-like dish.
- Serve: Enjoy the overnight oats cold, straight from the fridge, for a refreshing and satisfying breakfast or snack.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and soy or coconut yogurt.
- The chocolate topping is optional but adds a rich, indulgent flavor.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted or omitted depending on desired sweetness.
- Overnight soaking helps soften the oats and blend flavors perfectly.
- Use a high-speed blender for best texture and smoothness.
