A quick and easy overnight oats recipe featuring fresh blueberries and a subtle floral hint of culinary lavender, perfect for a wholesome and energizing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries (75g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – whole milk, almond, or oat milk
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g) – or coconut yogurt for vegan option
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey – or maple syrup for vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using) in a medium bowl. Stir to distribute lavender evenly.
  2. Add 1 cup milk of choice and ½ cup plain Greek yogurt. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
  3. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup), ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest. Stir until honey dissolves and mixture is fragrant.
  4. Fold in ½ cup fresh blueberries, reserving a few for garnish.
  5. Spoon mixture evenly into two 8-ounce mason jars or containers, leaving space at the top.
  6. Seal containers tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. In the morning, stir oats gently, top with reserved blueberries, and enjoy cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a softer texture.

Notes

Use food-grade culinary lavender to avoid bitterness. Adjust sweetness to taste. Soak oats for at least 6 hours for best texture. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. Fresh blueberries preferred for best texture; frozen can be used but expect softer texture. Vegan substitutions include plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
