Get ready because this is one of the easiest and tastiest make ahead breakfasts you will ever have. I created this recipe because I am a big muffin gal. I love blueberry muffins specifically, especially with that sweet crumble on the top. Mmmm! What I don’t love is all of the sugar and other unhealthy ingredients that are potentially baked into them. I wanted to resort to an easy breakfast that tastes good and is guilt free. Hence, the blueberry muffin overnight oats were born and oh, do I love this recipe so much. These overnight oats are “I would bathe in them,” that good!

I love making a batch of this when I know I have a busy week or weekend ahead of me and I need something that I can easily grab and go. I like to put the crumble on the top before I seal the lid and put them in the fridge overnight so they soak into the oats and create a nice layer on top, but the crumble is honestly to die for…so, I also serve the oats with extra on the side and add more in as I enjoy them. If you are busy and on the go just pre-pack the crumble in little jars on the side and you are all set.

So, I know you might be wondering, what are in these overnight oats anyways that makes them better for you than an actual blueberry muffin? I would love to tell you and highlight a few of the ingredients below:

• Quick Oats: I like these much better than rolled oats because they are finer and not as thick and in your face, plus since the oats soak into the mixture quicker and much better.

• Almond Cashew Milk: I enjoy plant based milk so much more and I love this silk almond and cashew milk specifically because it contains two types of nuts, so double the flavor and double the protein.

• Frozen blueberries: Frozen blueberries are the way to go! I am obsessed with the Seal the Seasons Michigan Grown frozen blueberries. I love them because as they thaw they get juicier in the mix, they are full of flavor and every blueberry is nice and plump.

• Cinnamon: Can help with reducing inflammation, blood sugar levels, improve heart health and has anti-inflammatory properties.

• Chia Seeds: I love chia seeds for so many reasons. They really add so much more volume and since I add so many, when enjoying them you might notice that they are a cross between overnight oats and a chia pudding. If you want to lessen the chia intensity feel free to only add in as much as you would like. Chia seeds are a great source of antioxidants and healthy fats.

• Monk Fruit Sweetener: Contains lesser calories, doesn’t affect blood sugar and t’s anti-inflammatory. It’s a great sugar alternative. It provides the sweetness because of the fruit it comes from hence the name Monk Fruit Sweetener.

You can store both the overnight oats and the crumble for about 5-7 days. The crumble can be kept in an airtight container on your counter and the overnight oats can be stored in your fridge as long as it’s sealed. Since these are a heartier breakfast item full of nutrients and volume I would recommend putting them in smaller jars because they do fill you up quickly depending on the person and how hungry you are. I store mine in 8-10 oz. jars.
