Description
A simple and nourishing breakfast that combines creamy oats with a jammy blueberry layer, perfect for meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for blueberry layer)
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3 cups water or milk
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup (for oats layer)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or blueberry)
- 2–3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- For the Blueberry Layer: Combine blueberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes until berries start to pop. Mash gently for a saucier texture, then let cool.
- Spoon the blueberry layer into the bottoms of jars or bowls.
- For the Overnight Oats: In a mixing bowl, stir together oats and chia seeds. Add water or milk, maple syrup, yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Spoon the oat mixture on top of the blueberry layer, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- To Serve: Let jars sit at room temperature for a few minutes if they’re firm, then add a spoonful of blueberry layer on top before serving.
Notes
Frozen blueberries can work wonderfully for a jammy texture. Adjust the sweetness to your taste, and consider using Greek yogurt for a tangier finish or flavored yogurt for additional sweetness.
