- If using frozen blueberries, heat them in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds to thaw them slightly. You can stir the blueberries into the oat mixture now, or save them for topping after the oats chill and thicken.1 cup blueberries
- Cover and chill the oats in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. You can keep the oats in the mixing bowl to chill or transfer them into jars with lids for easy enjoyment later.
- Once the oats have thickened, remove from the fridge and top with blueberries and graham cracker crumbs if desired. If the oats are too thick, add an extra splash of milk. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*Oats: Use certified gluten-free oats to ensure the recipe is gluten-free. Oats are naturally gluten-free but are often exposed to cross-contamination in processing.
Storage: Store overnight oats in a sealed container in the fridge for 4-6 days. I recommend storing them in individual jars with lids so they are easy to grab and go during the week!
Freezing Overnight Oats: Freeze in a freezer-safe container without toppings for up to 1 month. Let the oats thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Sweetness: Adjust the maple syrup to suit your sweetness preference. Use plain greek yogurt if you prefer less-sweet oats.
Dairy-Free/Vegan: Use dairy-free cream cheese, yogurt, and milk.
