A refreshing and nutritious high-protein lemon blueberry overnight oats recipe, combining the bright zestiness of lemon with antioxidant-rich blueberries and creamy Greek yogurt, perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes (including refrigeration)
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • Zest from 1 medium lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup rolled oats

Mix-ins

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For Topping and Serving

  • Blueberry jam (optional for layering)
  • Your favorite granola
  • Lemon zest
  • Extra blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Wet Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, almond milk, pure maple syrup, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in chia seeds and rolled oats into the wet mixture, ensuring everything is evenly mixed and coated.
  3. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. Using frozen blueberries will give the mixture a lovely purple color.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Once ready, portion the oats into two 12-ounce mason jars, optionally layering a spoonful of blueberry jam or extra blueberries in the middle for added flavor and visual appeal. Top each jar with granola, additional lemon zest, and a few extra blueberries as garnish.

Notes

  • To make this recipe dairy-free or vegan, substitute Greek yogurt with your favorite dairy-free vanilla or coconut yogurt and use a dairy-free milk alternative.
  • If using vanilla yogurt, additional sweetener may not be needed; however, when using plain yogurt, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to taste.
  • Frozen blueberries add a beautiful purple hue to the oats and are convenient year-round.
  • Customize your oats by experimenting with different toppings like nuts, seeds, or other fresh fruits for added texture and flavor.
