How to make blueberry oatmeal overnight
There are no real steps as this is a pretty simple cooking approach. Simply add the blueberries plus the other ingredients and mix them well, place in a bowl or glass jar, cover and refrigerate overnight.
However, if you’re new to oatmeal and want more detail or interested in different approaches to making oatmeal, check-out this guide for making oatmeal.
Add oats, chia, almond milk, all-spice, cinnamon, maple syrup and half the delicious blueberries to a glass bowl or large glass jar. Mix well with a spoon. Cover with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Remove the oatmeal mixture from the fridge, add reserved extra blueberries then eat as is or allow to warm to room temperature
Serving Suggestion
If using fresh blueberries, I reserve some until the end and top the finished oats with the juicy berries along with a little honey for extra sweetness if that's your thing.
Cooking Tips
- This recipe was intentionally dairy-free, but you can use your liquid bases of choice. Regular dairy milk is perfectly suitable for this recipe, as is other non-dairy type of milk like oat milk.
- Sometimes I will toast the oats in melted butter or coconut oil to coax out some more of that nutty flavor.
- I prefer fresh berries in this recipe, but frozen blueberries will work as well.
- I chose maple syrup as the sweetener in this recipe as I find it works well with the spices used, however honey and agave or even brown sugar are great substitutes.
- Either frozen or fresh blueberries work fine. There is no need to defrost frozen berries ahead of time, as this will occur during the overnight cooking process. I love how all those berries leads to some really taste purple oatmeal.
- For additional texture or extra crunch add some crunchy pumpkin seeds or pecans as a topping. Additional toppings ideas include mashed banana, ground flaxseeds, and a little bit of lemon zest.
- Mix in some peanut butter or even almond butter to make this even more filling. Peanut butter is great but isn't always as easy to integrate fully into the oatmeal given how thick it is.
- Optional toppings include sliced bananas, other fresh fruit like chopped strawberries, or sunflower seeds. Orange zest also adds a lil somethin somethin to this breakfast.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can this oatmeal be heated?
Yes, if you must! Microwave the bowl for about 45 seconds on medium power.
Are Oats gluten-free?
Not always, partially because in some cases the facilities where they are processed produce other ingredients that aren't gluten free. It's always best to check the label.
Can you use quick oats?
Quick oats can be used, but I'm not a fan of the texture which is very soft, too soft for me.
Can you use steel cut oats?
Steel-cut oats will work but require a bit more thought. You'll definitely need to increase amount of liquid. You'll also possibly need to account for a bit more time as in like 2-3 hours so adjust your cooking start time accordingly.
