Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 ½ cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: sliced almonds, coconut flakes, additional berries, or a dollop of yogurt

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt together until evenly distributed.

    Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the oats and chia seeds are fully combined and coated with the milk.

      Sweeten It Up: Add the maple syrup to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if desired.

        Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the oat mixture. If using frozen blueberries, it's best to allow them to thaw slightly first.

          Portion and Chill: Divide the mixture into two mason jars or airtight containers. Cover them with lids and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.

            Serve and Customize: In the morning, give your overnight oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with sliced almonds, coconut flakes, more blueberries, or a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess and flavor.

              Enjoy: Dig into your delicious and nutritious Berry Bliss Overnight Oats, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack!
