Ingredients

  • ½ cup mashed blueberries, fresh or frozen (thawed)
  • ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ -1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey to taste
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon lemon zest to taste
  • 3 tablespoons milk of choice
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • For serving, optional: blueberry jam, lemon zest, toasted nuts, fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Lightly mash the blueberries in a covered bowl or mason jar. Add the yogurt, sweetener, lemon zest, and milk. Stir to combine. Stir in the oats.
    Cover and refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • The next day, stir, and add more milk or yogurt as needed. Serve cold or warm. Add toppings immediately before serving.

Notes

  • Which oats are best? Rolled oats soften perfectly, and quick-cooking steel-cut oats add chew.
  • Adjust consistency. Too thick? Add a splash of milk. Too thin? Stir in yogurt, or add 2 tablespoon oats and let them absorb for 4 hours.
  • Add chia. Stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds and increase milk and yogurt by 2 tablespoon each. Add more liquid the next day if needed.
  • Sweeten to taste with maple syrup, honey, or jam—or leave it out.
  • Add toppings before serving. Store crunchy toppings and fresh fruit separately to keep them fresh.
