Delicious, filling and incredibly easy Blueberry Overnight Oats made with wholesome staples like Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and almond butter. Spend 10 minutes at night and wake to a healthy, lower-sugar oatmeal breakfast—no cooking required. Gluten-free, kid-friendly, and portable.
I’m fully on the overnight oats train and I plan to stay. They’re just that easy and nourishing. The trick is balancing the carbs with protein and healthy fats so breakfast keeps you satisfied until your next meal.
I adore a lemon-blueberry variation, but when lemons are out, this creamy blueberry almond butter version is my go-to. It comes together quickly and is perfect for eating on the run with kids in the morning.
Truly the ideal meal-prep breakfast for busy mornings.
Key ingredients and why they matter
- Milk: Unsweetened almond or soy milk are my favorites (soy adds extra protein), but cow’s milk or oat milk work well too.
- Greek yogurt: Use 2% or whole-milk Greek yogurt for thickness, protein, and creaminess. Blueberry yogurt adds flavor, but plain, vanilla, or lemon work fine.
- Chia seeds: Chia gives the mixture body and adds fiber and healthy fats for a more satisfying breakfast.
- Almond butter: Adds a silky texture and nutty sweetness—skip it and the oats lose some richness.
- Blueberries: Use fresh berries when possible to avoid excess liquid from thawing frozen fruit (frozen will work but may color the oats purple).
- Salt: A pinch of salt rounds and enhances the flavors—don’t skip it.
How to make it
Storage
Store the overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To freeze: portion into a greased muffin tin, freeze until solid, then transfer portions to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and top as desired.
Serve cold straight from the fridge with extra blueberries and a drizzle of almond butter.
