Instructions

Prepare the Oatmeal Base: In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds (if using), maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create the oatmeal mixture.
Mix Well: Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated, promoting consistent texture and flavor.
Add the Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. Frozen blueberries can be added directly and will thaw overnight, infusing the oatmeal with their sweet, fruity taste.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to soak and soften to a creamy consistency.
Stir and Adjust Consistency: In the morning, stir the oatmeal well. Add additional almond milk if you prefer a thinner texture.
Add Toppings: Top the oatmeal with extra fresh blueberries, sliced almonds or granola, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness and crunch.
Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy this nutritious, ready-to-eat breakfast that’s perfect for a quick meal at home or on the go.
