Ingredients
Scale

- 2 cups (300 g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 cups (480 ml) almond milk
- ⅓ cup (75 g) cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup (80 g) plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) maple syrup
- 2 tbsps (20 g) chia seeds
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine oats, chia seeds, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk in a large mixing bowl, whisking until smooth and fully integrated.
- Resting Phase: Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing ingredients to meld and slightly thicken at room temperature.
- Blueberry Transformation: Microwave blueberries briefly, then crush with a fork to create a rustic, vibrant compote that will add depth and color to the oats.
- Layering Technique: Distribute the creamy oat base evenly across individual serving containers, creating a uniform foundation for the overnight treat.
- Flavor Incorporation: Gently swirl the blueberry compote through the oat mixture or carefully layer it on top, ensuring a beautiful marbled effect and balanced fruit distribution.
- Storage Protocol: Cover each container with a tight-fitting lid or secure plastic wrap, minimizing air exposure to preserve freshness and prevent oxidation.
- Chilling Process: Refrigerate the prepared jars for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to absorb liquid and develop a rich, creamy consistency.
- Serving Suggestion: Enhance with optional toppings like additional fresh blueberries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup. Enjoy chilled or warmed slightly for a comforting breakfast experience.
Notes
- Optimize Texture Harmony: Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow ingredients to blend and achieve a smoother, more cohesive consistency.
- Unleash Blueberry Potential: Gently microwave and mash blueberries to create a rustic, jammy compote that intensifies the natural fruit flavor and breaks down the berries.
- Master Meal Prep Strategy: Prepare jars up to 4-5 days in advance, storing in the refrigerator to streamline breakfast planning and ensure quick, delicious morning meals.
- Customize Flavor Explosions: Experiment with different toppings like chopped nuts, honey drizzle, or additional fresh berries to elevate the basic recipe and keep breakfast exciting.
