Ingredients

Units Scale

Oats Mixture

  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats (large flakes)
  • 1/2 cup nut milk (e.g., vanilla, unsweetened almond milk)
  • 5 tbsp vanilla coconut yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup OR rice malt syrup OR date nectar OR raw honey
  • 1/2 cup fresh organic blueberries
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 handful crumbled walnuts or granola (as crumble topping)

Blueberry Chia Compote

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 heaping tsp lemon zest
  • 2.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2.5 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oats Mixture: In a jar, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, nut milk, vanilla coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, sweetener of choice (maple syrup, rice malt syrup, date nectar, or raw honey), fresh blueberries, chia seeds, and crumbled walnuts. Mix thoroughly to ensure all oats are well-coated with the liquids and ingredients.
  2. Make the Blueberry Chia Compote: In a saucepan over medium heat, add fresh blueberries, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a compote consistency—this usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Combine Compote with Oats: Add about 1 tablespoon of the warm blueberry chia compote to the oats mixture and stir well to incorporate flavors.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors, softening perfectly.
  5. Serve: Before serving, top the soaked oats with additional blueberry chia compote, fresh blueberries, and a sprinkle of walnuts or granola for a satisfying crunch.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey and ensure the yogurt is plant-based.
  • The blueberry chia compote can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust sweetness according to taste by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
  • Feel free to substitute walnuts with other nuts like pecans or almonds for different textures and flavors.
  • Chia seeds not only thicken the compote but also add a boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
