Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 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
Fruit and Toppings
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Fresh blueberries (for topping)
- Sliced almonds, granola, or crushed graham crackers (for a “pie crust” crunch)
- A drizzle of maple syrup or honey (optional for serving)
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 to form the base mixture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated for consistent flavor and texture throughout.
- Add the Blueberries: Gently fold in fresh or frozen blueberries. Frozen blueberries can be added directly as they will thaw overnight and infuse the oats with blueberry flavor.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the oats to soak and soften properly.
- Prepare to Serve: In the morning, stir the soaked oats and add extra almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Add Toppings: Top with additional fresh blueberries, and sprinkle sliced almonds, granola, or crushed graham crackers for a pie crust-like crunch. Optionally, drizzle with more maple syrup or honey.
- Enjoy: Dig into this healthy, satisfying blueberry pie-inspired breakfast that’s ready whenever you are.
