Ingredients
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats (large flakes)
- 1/2 cup nut milk of your choice (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
- 1 handful crumbled walnuts or granola (for topping)
For the blueberry chia compote/jam (about 1 cup):
- 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
Instructions
- Step 1: In a small jar or container, combine the oats, nut milk, vanilla coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, fresh blueberries, and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure the oats are fully coated.
- Step 2: For the blueberry chia compote, place blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract into a small saucepan over medium heat. As the blueberries soften and begin to burst, mash them with a wooden spoon. Raise the heat to medium-high until the mixture boils. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens. Remove from heat and let cool. Taste and add more sweetener if needed.
- Step 3: Stir 1 tablespoon of the cooled blueberry chia compote into the oat mixture. Seal the jar or container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
- Step 4: Before serving, top the overnight oats with an additional tablespoon of blueberry chia compote, fresh blueberries, and crumbled walnuts or granola for added crunch.
Tips & Variations
- For a superfood boost, add 1 tbsp collagen powder, 1 tbsp lucuma powder for a caramel flavor, or 1 tbsp hemp hearts for extra protein and healthy fats.

Store the prepared overnight oats in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The compote may thicken further when chilled; simply stir before serving. Reheat gently if preferred warm, though it is delicious served cold.
