Blueberry Pie Overnight Oats Recipe

Introduction

Start your day with a refreshing and nutritious Blueberry Pie Overnight Oats recipe. Combining creamy oats, fresh blueberries, and a homemade chia compote, this breakfast is both delicious and easy to prepare the night before.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats (large flakes)
• 1/2 cup nut milk (vanilla, unsweetened almond milk recommended)
• 5 tbsp vanilla coconut yogurt
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (or rice malt syrup, date nectar, or raw honey)
• 1/2 cup fresh organic blueberries
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 handful crumbled walnuts or granola (for topping)

For the blueberry chia compote (makes about 1 cup):

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 heaping tsp lemon zest
• 2.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 2.5 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small mason jar or container, combine the oats, nut milk, vanilla coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, fresh blueberries, and chia seeds. Mix well, making sure the oats are fully coated in the liquid mixture.
2. Step 2: To make the blueberry chia compote, place the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium heat. As the berries begin to burst, use a wooden spoon to mash them.
3. Step 3: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 8 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
4. Step 4: Stir 1 tablespoon of the cooled blueberry chia compote into the prepared oats mixture in the jar.
5. Step 5: Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soften and flavors to blend.
6. Step 6: Before serving, top the oats with an additional tablespoon of blueberry chia compote, more fresh blueberries, and crumbled walnuts or granola for a crunchy finish.

Tips & Variations

• If short on time, substitute the homemade compote with no sugar added wild blueberry jam to simplify preparation.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
