Blueberry-Chia Overnight Oats

By á-2986

Blueberry Chia Overnight Oats are creamy overnight oats made even more nutritious with chia seeds!

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup whole natural almonds, divided
• 1 1/2 cups nonfat or 1% milk
• 1 cup nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt (not Greek-style)
• 1/3 cup all-fruit blueberry jam
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 cups blueberries, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then chop them coarsely.

In a medium bowl, stir together the milk, yogurt, jam, and vanilla. Stir in the oats, chia seeds, and half of the almonds. Then stir in 1 cup of the blueberries.

Divide the mixture evenly among four 12-ounce (1 1/2-cup) jars. Top each with the remaining blueberries and almonds. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Serve chilled or at room temperature. (Note: the nuts on top will soften a bit in the refrigerator. If you want them extra-crunchy, sprinkle them on right before serving)
