Ingredients
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 ½ cups almond milk, or milk of choice
  • ½ cup greek style yoghurt, unsweetened and thick consistency
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1-2 tablespoons chia seeds (use 2 tablespoon for extra thick and creamy oats)
  • pinch of salt
Topping
  • ½ cup greek style yoghurt
  • blueberries
  • chopped nuts or granola
Instructions

  1. If you are used frozen blueberries, defrost them first. Mash the blueberries with a fork to release their liquids. Using frozen blueberries will give these overnight oats a deeper colour and flavour.

  2. In a bowl, mix together the milk, yoghurt, mashed blueberries, maple syrup, optional lemon zest and vanilla.
  3. Add the oats, chia seeds and salt, stir well. Let it sit for 5 min and mix well again. This is to prevent lumps forming from the chia seeds.
  4. Cover the bowl (or place in jars) and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
  5. To serve, add the overnight oats to two glasses. Top with thick greek style yoghurt and blueberries. Enjoy
