This is my oldest son’s favorite overnight oats recipe, and for good reason. It works wonderfully with fresh or frozen blueberries. Don’t have blueberries? No problem! You can easily substitute any berry or fruit you have on hand. That’s the beauty of overnight oats—you can customize them to create endless flavor combinations that suit your taste and dietary needs. Best of all, you can feel good about every bite—I know I do!
We almost always have overnight oats in our refrigerator and love coming up with new flavor combinations. When it comes to meal prepping, overnight oats are my go-to choice.

Blueberry Overnight Oats Ingredients
- Old Fashioned Oats– I find that Old Fashioned Oats have a better texture in this recipe. You can use steel cut or instant, but the texture will be different.
- Yogurt– ANY kind of yogurt can be used when making Overnight Oats. Just keep in mind the sweetness and flavor of the yogurt will affect the entire dish.
- Almond Milk– or any milk, even water will work.
- Vanilla Extract– adds flavor, makes the overnight oats taste more like blueberry muffins. If using vanilla yogurt omit the vanilla extract.
- Chia Seeds-offer nutrients like fiber and Omega 3s. They also help to thicken the Overnight Oats.
- Honey- for sweetness, unless you are using a sweet yogurt. You may need to adjust the sweetness.
- Blueberries– Fresh or frozen blueberries.

FAQ ABOUT OVERNIGHT OATS
Overnight oats need to soak for 4-6 before they are soft enough to eat.
Old fashioned rolled oats yield the best texture. Instant oats will become mushy and steel cut oats need a longer soak time to become soft.
Overnight oats can last in the refrigerator for 4-5 days if stored in an airtight container. You may want to wait to add any fruit or nuts to the overnight oats until you are ready to serve them.
