Ingredients:

For the Overnight Oats:

• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
• 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
• Crumbled walnuts or granola (for topping)

For the Blueberry Chia Compote:

• 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

Optional Superfoods:

• 1 tbsp collagen powder
• 1 tbsp lucuma powder (adds a caramel-like flavor)
• 1 tbsp hemp hearts (great for healthy fats, fiber, and protein)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Overnight Oats:

In a mason jar or any container with a lid, mix together the oats, nut milk, vanilla coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure all the oats are fully coated in the liquid. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries for that burst of natural sweetness. Set aside as you prepare the compote.

2. Make the Blueberry Chia Compote:

In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, and chia seeds. Cook the mixture over medium heat until the blueberries begin to soften and burst, releasing their juices. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the compote to a gentle boil, stirring frequently and mashing the blueberries with a wooden spoon. Allow the compote to thicken for 5-8 minutes. Once thickened, remove it from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let it cool. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

3. Combine:

Add 1 tablespoon of the cooled blueberry chia compote to the prepared oats and stir it in for a beautiful swirl of blueberry flavor. Cover the oats and refrigerate them overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and become soft and creamy.

4. Serve:

In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of the blueberry chia compote, additional fresh blueberries, and a generous sprinkle of crumbled walnuts or granola for added crunch.

5. Superfood Boost (Optional):

For an extra nutritional boost, mix in collagen powder, lucuma powder, or hemp hearts before serving. These superfoods add healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making this breakfast even more wholesome.
