Key Ingredients

Almond milk - Think almond milk works so well with overnight oats. I love the subtle flavor and perfect if you want to reduce your dairy intake. Other milks can be used as well.

Honey - This is a great way to add a sweet flavor to the overnight oats without using any refined sugars.

Old fashioned Oats - Are the best type of oat for overnight oats. They absorb the liquid and soften perfectly without needing to be cooked.

Chia seeds - A simple way to add some extra nutrition to the overnight oats. They are high in fiber too.

Cinnamon - I love using cinnamon as a flavor. It has a subtle warmth and is perfect with the blueberries and almond flavors.

Blueberries - Blueberries are naturally sweet and perfect to use in overnight oats recipes.

Almonds - Another great way to add some extra flavor and crunch.

Step-By-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl add almond milk, honey, oats and chia. Stir well to combine. 

Add half of the blueberries to the oat mixture. 

Portion the oats into 3 separate containers like mason jars. 

Top with remaining berries and slivered almonds. Drizzle with extra honey if desired.

Storage Recommendations

Overnight do require refrigeration. Once you have portioned them into their mason jars or airtight containers, refrigerate for up to five days.

Can You Heat Up Overnight Oats?

While overnight oats are meant to be eaten cold you can always warm them up. To heat them up place the jar in the microwave for 60-90 seconds or until they are warmed through.

Can This Recipe Be Plant-Based?

Absolutely! It is simple to make this vegan by substituting the honey for agave nectar. The rest of the ingredients are fine for a plant-based diet.
