The Best Overnight Oats!

Just when you thought we couldn’t come up with another overnight oat recipe this one slaps yah right in the face. These blueberry overnight oats are so delicious I’d bathe in them. Seriously- I bet this stuff would be a great exfoliant. NOTEVENJOKING.

I have been a sucker for fresh blueberries lately. It’s been my favorite berry for the past few months…even over strawberries! I top my yogurt with them, I bake them in muffins, I even eat them plain, straight out of the carton.

Blueberries are the star of this overnight oats with Greek yogurt recipe. They are mashed right Into the oats and mixed with creamy Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, almond milk, and a little lemon zest to make them taste exactly like a blueberry muffin!

What You Need

This blueberry overnight oats recipe with almond milk is super easy to make, is refined sugar-free, and uses real ingredients. Here’s what you need:

• Rolled Oats – AKA old fashioned oatmeal (quick-cooking oats work too!)
• Almond Milk – almond milk is lower in calories, but any milk works. Try our homemade almond milk recipe!
• Fresh Blueberries – The true star of the show! If you can’t find fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries work too.
• Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt not only adds protein to this recipe, but also makes it thick, creamy, and dessert-like. Feel free to use plain, vanilla, or even blueberry flavored.
• Honey – honey is an all-natural sweetener that adds a beautiful flavor to this blueberry overnight oats recipe.
• Vanilla Extract – you can never go wrong with a splash of vanilla!
• Chia Seeds – chia seeds are packed with healthy fats. Almost all of our overnight oats recipes call for chia seeds because they really beef up your oatmeal in the best way. Once they soal in liquid, they expand, making your overnight oats much more voluminous.
• Lemon Zest – do not skip this part. I repeat, make your blueberry overnight oats with lemon zest!
