- 1 cup gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup nut milk
- 1 cup vanilla coconut yogurt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
Blueberry Chia Compote
- 1 cup fresh organic blueberries
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings and Additional Mix-ins
- 1 tbsp blueberry chia compote (reserved from above)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup walnuts or granola (crumbled)
- 1 tbsp collagen powder
- 1 tbsp lucuma powder
- 2 tbsp hemp hearts
Instructions
- Mix Overnight Oats: In a mason jar or a container, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, nut milk, vanilla coconut yogurt, pure vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup. Stir thoroughly to ensure all oats are covered in the creamy liquid.
- Prepare Blueberry Chia Compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh organic blueberries, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, pure maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Gently mash the berries with a wooden spoon as they begin to break down.
- Cook Compote: Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Stir frequently and cook for 5-8 minutes until the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Add Compote to Oats: Stir one tablespoon of the blueberry chia compote into the overnight oats mixture evenly to infuse a delightful flavor throughout.
- Chill Mixture: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the oats soak up the flavors fully and soften.
- Serve: Before serving, top the oat mixture with an additional tablespoon of the blueberry chia compote, fresh blueberries, and crumbled walnuts or granola for added texture and crunch.
