Blueberry Almond Cream Overnight Oats

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup rolled oats

¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant‑based yogurt)

½–¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for extra thickness)

2 tablespoons sliced almonds (for topping)

Directions

I combine rolled oats, almond milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt in a bowl or jar.

I stir everything together until the oats are fully soaked in the liquid.

Then I gently fold in the blueberries.

I cover the mixture and refrigerate it overnight — or for at least 6 hours.

In the morning, I give it a good stir and add a splash of almond milk if I want it a bit creamier.

I top it with sliced almonds and a few extra blueberries before serving.

Variations

Different fruits: I sometimes swap blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or chopped apples for a seasonal twist.

Nut butter swirl: A spoonful of almond or peanut butter mixed in adds richness and more protein.

Vegan option: I use plant-based yogurt to make it fully dairy-free.

Chocolate flavor: A teaspoon of cocoa powder gives it a chocolatey vibe.

Coconut twist: I like using coconut milk and topping with shredded coconut for a tropical version.

Storage/Reheating

I store the overnight oats in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. The texture gets creamier as it sits. I don't reheat it, since it's meant to be eaten cold, but I let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes if I don’t want it too chilled.

FAQs

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Yes, I can use quick oats, but the texture will be softer and less chewy than rolled oats. I prefer rolled oats for a more satisfying bite.

Are frozen blueberries okay to use?

Absolutely. I often use frozen blueberries — they thaw overnight and even add a bit of juice, making the oats slightly more colorful and flavorful.

How can I make it sweeter without adding sugar?

I sometimes mash in a ripe banana or use a naturally sweetened yogurt. Both options make the oats sweet without any added sugar.

Can I make this recipe nut-free?

Yes, I use oat milk or another nut-free milk and skip the almonds or replace them with sunflower seeds for crunch.

What can I use instead of chia seeds?

If I don’t have chia seeds, I leave them out entirely or add ground flaxseeds for similar thickening and nutrition benefits.

Conclusion

Blueberry Almond Cream Overnight Oats are one of my favorite ways to start the day. They're easy to make, endlessly adaptable, and packed with nutrients to keep me full and energized. Whether I’m meal prepping for the week or just want a quick morning meal, this recipe is one I always come back to.
