What you need for Blueberry Lemon Overnight Oats
- Rolled Oats: these are important to not switch up! Using rolled oats gives these oats the texture you want.
- Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk: I always use almond milk in my overnights oats recipe! I like to use the unsweetened vanilla version.
- Blueberries: if you don’t have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen here too!
- Lemon zest: don’t leave this part out! the lemon zest adds a lot of flavor here.
- Chia seeds: adding chia seeds to your overnight oats helps absorb the rolled oats and adds a nutritional boost to your oats!
- Shredded coconut: I love adding coconut to these overnight oats, but you can leave this out if you’d like too!
- Vanilla extract: I always add this into the overnight oats to sweeten it up while giving it a natural vanilla taste.
- Cinnamon: don’t skimp on this either! Cinnamon adds so much flavor to overnight oats.
- Maple syrup: if you’d rather leave this out or switch for honey, you totally can!
- Yogurt: adding yogurt to your overnight oats makes it super creaky, especially here.
Recipe tip:
This recipe serves two! Make it together to serve for two breakfasts or cut in half into seperate jars!
How to store your overnight oats:
Overnight oats are best to store in the fridge overnight to thicken up after making them. I like to make them in these Porter Bowls which are great for grab and go or in a sealed container or mason jar.
