Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh organic blueberries
- ½ cup gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (120 ml) nut milk (vanilla, unsweetened almond milk recommended)
- 5 tbsps vanilla coconut yogurt
- 2.5 tbsps (37.5 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (or rice malt syrup, date nectar, or raw honey)
- 3.5 tbsps chia seeds
- 1 tbsp crumbled walnuts or granola (for topping)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp collagen powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp lucuma powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp hemp hearts (optional)
Instructions
- Oat Base Preparation: Combine rolled oats, nut milk, vanilla coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a glass container. Whisk meticulously until ingredients merge seamlessly, creating a smooth, creamy foundation.
- Blueberry Compote Creation: In a saucepan, merge whole blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, and chia seeds. Gradually elevate heat from medium to medium-high, encouraging blueberries to soften and burst. Crush berries with a wooden spoon, developing a rich, textured sauce. Simmer for 6-7 minutes until mixture thickens, then cool completely.
- Layering and Infusion: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the oat mixture, ensuring even distribution. Swirl a tablespoon of blueberry compote through the oats, creating an artful marbled effect.
- Overnight Transformation: Seal the container and refrigerate, allowing oats to absorb liquid and develop complex flavor profiles overnight.
- Final Presentation: Before serving, embellish with an additional compote tablespoon, scatter fresh blueberries, and sprinkle crunchy walnuts or granola. Optionally enhance with collagen powder, lucuma powder, and hemp hearts for added nutritional depth.
Notes
- Maximize Flavor Infusion: Allow overnight chilling to help oats absorb liquid and develop rich, complex taste profiles.
- Control Compote Consistency: Stir and crush blueberries gently to achieve perfect sauce thickness without losing fruit texture.
- Boost Nutritional Value: Optional add-ins like collagen, lucuma, and hemp hearts elevate the breakfast’s protein and nutrient content.
- Temperature Technique: Gradually increase heat when simmering compote to prevent burning and ensure smooth, deep flavor development.
