Lemon Blueberry Overnight Oats

---

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Chill Time: 8 hours | Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• For the oats:

  1 cup rolled oats*

  2 tbsp chia seeds

  2 tbsp hemp hearts

  1 cup milk

  1 tsp vanilla extract

  1/2 tsp lemon zest

  1/4 tsp salt

• For the blueberry compote:

  2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen

  1 tbsp chia seeds

  1 tbsp honey

  1-2 tbsp water

  1 tbsp lemon juice

  1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions (yields 2 servings):

• Add the blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water to a small saucepan over medium heat.

• Cook for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to burst and release their juices.

• Use the back of a spoon or spatula to gently mash about half of the blueberries, leaving some whole for texture.

• Remove from the heat and stir in the chia seeds and lemon zest, if using.

• Let the compote cool for 10–15 minutes. As it cools, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and naturally thicken the mixture.

• Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

• To a medium bowl, add the oats, chia seeds, hemp hearts, milk, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

• Divide half of the oat mixture between 2 airtight containers, then add a layer of the blueberry mixture, followed by the remaining oat mixture. You will most likely have leftover blueberry compote.

• Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.

• When ready to serve, top each serving with desired toppings and enjoy!

• Recipe Notes

  While oats are naturally gluten-free, they are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye. If you have celiac disease, choose certified gluten-free oats to minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
