Blueberry Chia Overnight Oats Ingredients 

• Old fashioned oats
• Liquid of your choice
• Coconut yogurt
• Blueberry chia jam
• Lemon zest
• Blueberries

First of all, make the chia and blueberry jam. In a medium saucepan, simmer the blueberries, lemon juice, and vanilla for 3 minutes over medium heat. Gently mash the berries and stir while cooking.  

Afterwards, remove from the heat and add the maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the chia seeds and transfer the jam to a glass jar to cool. The chia seeds will thicken the jam, but don’t hesitate to add more if you feel like the jam should be a bit thicker.

Next, assemble the no cook oatmeal. Add rolled oats to a glass jar, and then pour in almond milk and coconut yogurt.

Layer blueberry jam, blueberries, and lemon zest on top of the soaked oats. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, add sliced almonds for crunch and a drizzle of maple syrup if you like sweeter oatmeal.

Be creative when it comes to topping the soaked oats. Dribble almond butter, unsweetened shredded coconut, fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries. From pecans to cocoa nibs, the oatmeal topping options are endless!
