Equipment

Mason jars

Ingredients

2 cups blueberries
2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice plus 2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 cups milk, any type (I use almond milk)
1 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups old fashioned oats (can use gluten-free certified oats)
4 teaspoons chia seeds

Optional toppings:

Fresh blueberries, chopped nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, nut butter

Instructions

To make the blueberry compote, heat the blueberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer several minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to burst and release their juices. Remove from heat and cool.
Stir the milk, yogurt, vanilla, and lemon zest together in a large bowl until smooth. Add the oats and chia seeds and stir to combine well.
To assemble the overnight oats, spoon about ¼ cup of the oat mixture into each of 4 mason jars or cups. Top each with about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry compote. Repeat with another layer of oats and compote.
Cover the containers with a plastic wrap or a lid and place them in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4 hours).
Before serving, stir the overnight oats and add a splash of milk if needed to loosen it up. Add any additional toppings and enjoy!
