Notes
Storage Directions
- Refrigerating: The blueberry chia overnight oats keep covered in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Once soaked for at least 6 hours, the oats can be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. For the best results, omit the fresh berries from the mixture before freezing. Thaw the oatmeal in the refrigerator overnight and top with berries before serving.
- Mix Well. Stir or shake the oat mixture well — until the jam and Greek yogurt dissolve in the milk — for consistent flavor and fresh berry fruitiness in each bite!
- Soak until tender. The oatmeal needs at least 6 hours to soak in the milk. For best results, don't rush the process. If you are short on time, swap instant oats for old-fashioned; they only require 1-2 hours of soaking!
- Mind the mix-ins. By now, you probably know I am quite the mix-in fan! Just time their addition to retain their texture. Fresh berries, chia seeds, chocolate chips, and most dried fruits can stand up to the milk soak, whereas granola or nuts should be added just before serving!
