Blueberry Overnight Oats
Overnight oats have been popular for a few years now.
There are so many variations and it's such a simple recipe that many people are adding overnight oats, like these blueberry overnight oats, to their breakfast routine.
There are only five ingredients needed to make these blueberry overnight oats.
Ingredients in Blueberry Overnight Oats
All you need to make overnight oats are just a few simple ingredients.
Oats: Overnight oats can be made with old-fashioned rolled oats or quick oats (for creamier and smoother oats). Be sure that your oats are gluten free.
Chia Seeds: Chia seeds help to thicken the overnight oats and add some extra fiber and nutrients.
Milk: You can use your milk of choice. We like to use vanilla almond milk or regular milk in ours.
Sweetener: We use maple syrup, but you can use honey, sugar, or your sweeter or sugar free sweetener of choice.
Blueberries: They add a touch of sweetness and vitamins.
If you're not a fan of blueberries you can switch the fruit out for something else.
How long do blueberries last?
Fresh blueberries last 2-3 days at room temperature before they start to break down. You can store fresh, unspoiled blueberries in the refrigerator for up to 10 days before you start seeing signs of spoilage.
Are Quaker Oats Gluten Free
Quaker started offering a line of gluten free oats. Oats are naturally gluten-free but can be cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains, such as barley, rye and wheat, during processing.
Check the label for the Quaker oats you are considering and make sure it's labeled gluten free and doesn't have a disclaimer about possible contamination during processing.

You can make these blueberry overnight oats in a jar, container, or a bowl. We like to use a glass jar with a lid.
- In a glass jar, add oats, milk, maple syrup and chia seeds.
- Mix everything together with a spoon until combined.
- If you’re enjoying your overnight oats within 24 hours, stir your blueberries in. If you’re prepping ahead of time, stir them in right before you enjoy them.

Can you add frozen fruit to overnight oats?
Yes, you can add frozen fruit to overnight oats. For blueberry overnight oats we often add frozen blueberries.
If you want to smash your frozen fruit, add it to the the top after you've mixed the rest of the overnight oats.
Simple stir it in the next morning when you are ready to enjoy your oats.
Can you warm up blueberry overnight oats?
Yes, you can warm up blueberry overnight oats. They are delicious cold or warm.
How long can you leave blueberry overnight oats in the refrigerator?
Blueberry overnight oats stay good in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. If the liquid starts to separate from the oats, give it a quick stir before enjoying.
Which oats are best for overnight oats?
We like to use GF Harvest Rolled Oats. Rolled oats are best for overnight oats.
For a smoother, creamier texture you can use quick oats.
For a chewy texture you can use steel cut oats.
If you eat gluten free make sure your oats are certified gluten free.
They are enjoyable all year long and not just during the winter months.

I thought these oats were delicious! One adjustment: I mixed the half cup of almond milk with a scoop of vanilla protein powder before adding it to the oats! Very good and will continue to make. Thanks!
Taylor
If using frozen blueberries, do they need to be thawed first? Or if not, do they need to sit longer in fridge (after being mixed into oats) to thaw? Thank you. Looking forward to trying.

Hi Taylor,
You don't need to thaw the blueberries first, but you can if you like. They don't need to sit longer in the fridge.
Best,
Chrystal

Loved the recipe, just didn’t love all the adds and pop ups on the website. Made it difficult to pull up the recipe on multiple occasions.
