Why You’ll Love This Blueberry Overnight Oats With Yogurt

This recipe is the ultimate blend of convenience and nutrition. It’s packed with protein from Greek yogurt, fiber from the oats, and antioxidants from blueberries. Plus, it’s easy to customize: switch up the fruits, add chia seeds or nuts, or drizzle with a bit of honey. It also tastes like dessert, but it’s totally healthy.

You can meal-prep several jars at once and have breakfast sorted for the whole week. It’s great for kids, adults, and anyone looking to eat more wholesome food without cooking every day.

What Kind of Yogurt Should I Use?

Greek yogurt is the go-to for this recipe because it gives the oats a thick, creamy consistency and adds a good amount of protein. You can use plain for a more neutral base or vanilla for extra flavor. If you’re dairy-free, a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond works beautifully too. Just check for added sugars and try to stick with options that keep things wholesome and nourishing.

Ingredients for the Blueberry Overnight Oats With Yogurt

A few pantry staples and a handful of fresh or frozen blueberries are all you need to make this powerhouse breakfast. Here’s what you’ll want on hand:

Old-fashioned rolled oats: These are the best for a chewy yet soft texture. Avoid instant oats, as they can turn mushy overnight.

Greek yogurt: Adds protein and a creamy texture. Use plain or vanilla depending on your flavor preference.

Milk: Helps the oats soften and blend. Any kind works—dairy or non-dairy.

Blueberries: The star of the show! Fresh or frozen both work. They provide sweetness and antioxidants.

Maple syrup: Optional, but adds a natural touch of sweetness.

Chia seeds: Optional, but great for thickening and added fiber.

Vanilla extract: Just a splash enhances the overall flavor.

How To Make the Blueberry Overnight Oats With Yogurt

Step 1: Mix the Base

In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine ½ cup oats, ½ cup milk, ½ cup Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 2: Add Flavor

Add ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen), 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup (if using), and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix gently to keep the blueberries intact, or mash a few for a more jammy texture.

Step 3: Let It Chill

Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. The oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid and become thick and creamy.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Add more milk if you prefer a looser texture. Top with more blueberries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
