METHOD · 4 STEPS

mix · ~1 min
Combine the wet ingredients.
1.In a mixing bowl, add the milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
2.Whisk until smooth and the maple syrup is fully dissolved.
mix · ~1 min
Stir in the oats, chia seeds, and blueberries.
1.Add the rolled oats and chia seeds to the wet mixture. Stir well.
2.Gently fold in the wild blueberries until evenly distributed.
TIPWild blueberries are smaller and more flavorful than regular ones, so they distribute beautifully through the oats.
assemble · ~480 min
Divide into jars and refrigerate.
1.Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers.
2.Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight.
3.The oats are ready when they've absorbed the liquid and are soft and creamy.
TIPThe chia seeds will swell and help create that thick, pudding-like texture. Don't skip the full soak.
garnish · ~1 min
Top with sliced almonds and serve.
1.Before eating, give the oats a good stir.
2.Top each serving with sliced almonds and a few extra fresh blueberries if desired.
TIPThe cold overnight soak keeps everything fresh and eliminates any need for cooking. Perfect for warm mornings.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use frozen wild blueberries straight from the freezer—they release jus as the oats soak, creating natural blue swirls.
2
For a thicker, pudding-like texture, let the oats soak a full 8 hours; the chia seeds need time to gel completely.
3
Stir the oats well before serving to redistribute the blueberries and chia that may have settled at the bottom.
4
Make a double batch and store in individual jars for grab-and-go breakfasts up to 4 days ahead.
5
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan for 2 minutes to deepen their nutty flavor before topping.
