Blueberry Pie–Inspired Overnight Oats Taste Like Dessert for Breakfast

(2)

With a jammy blueberry filling and a crumble topping, these overnight oats taste like a slice of blueberry pie. Oatmilk reinforces the flavor, while lemon zest and juice provide nice brightness. Fresh and frozen blueberries both work well here—let frozen blueberries thaw first before using.

Ingredients

Oats

  • 2 cups fresh or thawed frozen blueberries, plus more for garnish

  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • teaspoons unsalted butter

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 2 cups oatmilk (such as Planet Oat Unsweetened Original Oatmilk)

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

Crumble Topping

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature

Directions

  1. To prepare oats: Combine 2 cups blueberries, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and ⅛ teaspoon salt in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the blueberries are bubbling, softened and burst, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1½ teaspoons butter, ½ teaspoon vanilla and ¼ teaspoon lemon zest. Set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Stir 2 cups oats, 2 cups oatmilk and 1 tablespoon flaxseed together in a medium bowl until well combined. Spoon about ¼ cup of the oat mixture into each of 4 (8-ounce) jars. Top each jar with a generous 1½ tablespoons of the blueberry mixture. Repeat with two more layers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (and up to 3 days).

  3. To prepare crumble topping: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons oats, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and ⅛ teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon butter; rub together between fingers until pea-size lumps form. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 5 minutes; stir. Bake until lightly browned, another 2 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes. Before serving the oats, top each with about 2 tablespoons of the topping. Garnish with additional blueberries, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
