Description
Gluten-free blueberry overnight oats combine superfoods like blueberries, oats, chia seeds, flaxseeds, cinnamon, and dairy-free milk for a healthy make-ahead breakfast!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh
- 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 teaspoons flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup almond milk or coconut milk
- Optional - 2-3 Tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the blueberries, gluten-free rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseed, cinnamon, milk, and optional maple syrup. Gently mix until well combined.
- After mixing, store the oats in a large jar or divide the mixture evenly between two jars and seal them tightly with lids. Store in the fridge for 12-24 hours for better digestion and nutrient absorption, but 6 hours works if you’re short on time.
- When ready to eat, remove from the fridge and add extra blueberries on top.
- Serve cold or warm. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
Nutrition Tip – Adding small amounts of acid liquid such as vinegar or lemon juice is said to activate phytase, an enzyme that breaks down phytic acid.
Serving Tip – To enjoy warm, simply transfer the oats to a microwave-safe bowl or leave them in the jar if it’s microwave-safe. Heat them in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even warming. Alternatively, you can warm them on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally until they reach your desired temperature.
