  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Overnight Oats Mixture

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2-1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon blueberry jam (homemade or store-bought)

Jam (if making homemade)

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Topping

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Mix Overnight Oats Base: In a small bowl or mason jar, combine the old fashioned oats, Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated. Gently swirl in the blueberry jam last to distribute some fruity flavor without fully mixing it in.
  2. Make Homemade Blueberry Jam (Optional): If preparing homemade jam, add fresh blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 8 to 10 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes jammy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool before adding to the oats.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the container and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors, resulting in a creamy and thick texture.
  4. Serve: When ready to eat, top the overnight oats with the fresh blueberries and additional blueberry jam if desired. Stir slightly before consuming or enjoy it layered for textural contrast.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of lemon juice and zest according to your preference for tartness.
  • Use any type of milk; dairy or plant-based milk both work well.
  • The recipe can be prepared in larger batches; just multiply the ingredients accordingly.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for best freshness.
  • For added crunch, sprinkle some nuts or granola just before serving.
