Ingredients
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)
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)
Instructions
Prepare the Overnight Oats:
In a mason jar or container, combine the oats, nut milk, vanilla coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and chia seeds. Mix well to ensure the oats are fully coated. Stir in the fresh blueberries.
Make the Blueberry Chia Compote:
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, and chia seeds. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries begin to burst, then increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
Use a wooden spoon to mash the blueberries as they soften. Stir frequently and cook for 5-8 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken. Let the compote cool and taste to see if it needs additional sweetener.
Combine:
Add 1 tablespoon of the blueberry chia compote to the oats and stir. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to let the oats absorb the liquid.
Serve:
Before serving, top the oats with 1 tablespoon of blueberry chia compote, additional fresh blueberries, and crumbled walnuts or granola for a crunchy topping.
Superfood Boost (Optional):
Mix in collagen powder, lucuma powder, and hemp hearts before serving for an extra nutritional boost.
