Equipment

Mason Jars

Ingredients

½ cup (50 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
¾ tablespoon maple syrup or honey
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup (25 g) fresh or frozen blueberries

Toppings (optional)

¼ cup (25 g) fresh blueberries
½ teaspoon hemp seeds
½ teaspoon flaxseed meal
honey or maple syrup

Instructions

In a 16-ounce mason jar, combine rolled oats, milk, blueberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Stir well or seal the jar and shake until everything is mixed. Refrigerate for at least 4–5 hours or overnight.
In the morning, give it a good stir. Add a splash of milk if needed. Enjoy it cold or warm it in the microwave for about 1 minute. Top with extra blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and your favorite toppings.

Notes

Oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats give the creamiest texture. Quick oats work but may get mushy. Avoid steel-cut oats.
Milk: Use any milk, dairy or non-dairy, like almond, oat, soy, or coconut. To make it creamier, add Greek yogurt or a plant-based yogurt. Keep a 1:1 ratio with oats.
Blueberries: Fresh or frozen. No need to thaw frozen berries.
Sweetener: Add honey, maple syrup, agave, or your favorite option. For a sugar-free version, mash in half a ripe banana.
Gluten-free: Choose certified gluten-free oats.
Vegan: Sweeten with maple syrup or agave nectar.
Storage: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. If using fresh fruit, eat within 3 days.
Freezing: Portion into airtight containers and freeze. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
Make-ahead: Prep multiple jars for an easy breakfast throughout the week.
Reheating: Eat it cold, or warm it in the microwave for about 1 minute if you prefer a warm breakfast.
