Print Recipe

A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining rolled oats, chia seeds, fresh blueberries, and a bright lemon flavor for a creamy, healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk of choice (full-fat coconut milk recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional), 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture over the oats, chia seeds, and blueberries. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
  7. Before eating, stir the oats gently. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Optionally, top with extra fresh blueberries, lemon zest, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk. Add chia seeds just before serving for more texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Store refrigerated up to 3 days; do not freeze.
