# Ingredients:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (plus extra for serving)
02 -
1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten-free variety works great)
03 -
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (plus extra for serving)
04 -
1 tablespoon chia seeds
→ Optional Add-ins
05 -
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 -
Stevia or your favorite sweetener to taste
08 -
Crunchy peanut butter for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the blueberries with about 1/4 cup water until most have popped and released their juices. Mash them as much or as little as you prefer for your desired texture.
02 -
In a mason jar or similar container, combine the cooked blueberries with the oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and any optional ingredients you're using.
03 -
Cover your jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the flavors.
04 -
When ready to eat, let the oatmeal sit out for about 20 minutes to take the chill off. Add a splash of extra almond milk, more fresh blueberries, and any other toppings you enjoy. For a warm version, microwave for about a minute before serving.
