Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 cup (150g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) honey (or maple syrup/agave for vegan option)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: chia seeds, vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the blueberry compote: Pour 1 cup (150g) of blueberries into a small saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of honey and 1 tablespoon (15ml) of water. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and mixture thickens to a jammy consistency. Add more water if too thick. Let cool to room temperature.
- Mix oats and yogurt: In a bowl or jar, combine 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir well. Optionally add a splash of vanilla extract.
- Sweeten the base: Drizzle 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey over the mixture and stir gently. Adjust sweetness as desired.
- Layer the compote: Spoon a generous layer of cooled blueberry compote on top of the oat and yogurt mixture. Swirl slightly or keep separate.
- Refrigerate overnight: Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Serve and enjoy: Stir gently if desired or eat layered. Optionally add fresh blueberries, nuts, or a dash of cinnamon before serving.
Notes
Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats to prevent mushiness. The blueberry compote can be made ahead and stored up to a week. Adjust honey or use maple syrup/agave for vegan versions. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based).
