Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added fiber and omega-3s)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for a pie-like flavor)
- Pinch of salt
For Toppings (optional):
- Fresh blueberries
- Sliced almonds, granola, or crushed graham crackers (for a “pie crust” crunch)
- A drizzle of maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Oatmeal Base:
- In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds (if using), maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt.
- Stir well to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
- Add the Blueberries:
- Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. If you’re using frozen blueberries, you can add them directly; they’ll thaw overnight and infuse the oats with blueberry flavor.
- Refrigerate:
- Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- Serve:
- In the morning, stir the oats and add extra almond milk if you’d like a thinner consistency.
- Top with additional fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of sliced almonds, granola, or crushed graham crackers for a “pie crust” crunch. You can also drizzle with a little more maple syrup or honey if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Enjoy this healthy and satisfying blueberry pie-inspired breakfast!
Notes
- For a smoother texture, blend the oats and almond milk together before refrigerating, which will give it a creamier consistency.
- You can substitute any non-dairy milk you prefer (like coconut milk or oat milk).
- If you’d like extra protein, add a spoonful of nut butter or a scoop of protein powder to the mix.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for meal prep.
