Why This Recipe Works
Morning meal prep can be tough for families with kids. Waking everybody up, making sure that the kids are dressed, bags are packed, lunches are made...going back to wake them up again... and usually this means that everybody eats boxed cereal. Easy Blueberry Overnight Oats are a healthy way to give everybody a quick breakfast that isn't loaded with preservatives. We love this recipe because it is:
- Easy to make. Toss the ingredients into a pot and let nature work its magic. How much easier could it be?
- Only 4 ingredients. Old fashioned rolled oats, brown sugar, almond milk, dried blueberries. That's the whole recipe! Most grocers cary some form of kosher dried blueberries so they shouldn't be too hard to find.
- Quick prep time. Delicious and nutritious oatmeal is ready for the overnight soak in under 5 minutes.
- Great for people with dietary restrictions. Besides being kosher, this recipe is perfect for people who have gluten restrictions and who are lactose intolerant.
- Perfect for Shabbat or Yom Tov. The restrictions of Shabbat and Yom Tov mean that there is limited or no cooking allowed. This recipe is perfect as it cooks without heat so you can make it on Friday night or after Yom Tov begins for the next day.
Making Easy Blueberry Overnight Oats step by step:
Step 1 - Mix the ingredients
In a large pot, mix the 2 cups rolled oats, blueberries, brown sugar (you can also use maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond milk. Don't use quick cooking oats as they will break down too much overnight and you will have a mess on your hands.
Step 2 - Let it sit overnight
When you first make the mixture, it will look like a sloppy mess. As the oats and blueberries sit they will absorb the almond milk and turn into the soft oatmeal texture you are used to.
Step 3 - Serve
You can serve Easy Blueberry Overnight Oats in bowls or you can get a little fancier with one of our serving suggestions.

Serving suggestions
The base recipe for Easy Blueberry Overnight Oats is so versatile. There is just so much you can do with it. Try these suggestions:
- Blueberry Flax Seed Overnight Oats. Add 2 tablespoon of ground flax seed to the recipe before adding the almond milk. This adds fiber, protein, and Omega-3 fatty acids.
- Use honey instead of brown sugar. Add ⅓ cup of honey instead of the brown sugar.
- Easy Overnight Pecan Oats With Blueberries. Toss in ¼ cup of chopped pecans before serving in the morning.
- Overnight Chia Seed Oats. Mix in 2 tablespoon of chia seeds during Step 1 above.
- Warmed Overnight Oats. I know, this seems like it defeats the purpose of the simple recipe but it works. Warm the oats over a low flame before serving. It will be like traditional oatmeal but so much creamier.
- Peanut Butter Overnight Oats. Add 2 tablespoon of peanut butter to the mixture in Step 1. This will make your morning breakfast oats super creamy and peanut butter-y!
