Blueberry Overnight Oats
I’m no stranger to overnight oats — I jumped on the bandwagon last year and have never looked back.
I had an a-ha moment when I made this Cherry Chia Pudding. I wondered what the outcome would be if I added chia seeds to overnight oats.
Let’s just say that I’ll never make overnight oats without them again. The chia seeds add such a great texture, and will keep your overnight oats from being too thin and soupy.
There’s nothing worse than soup overnight oats!
What are overnight oats?
Overnight oats are rolled oats that are soaked in liquid overnight until soft. The oats absorb the liquid, resulting in soft, creamy oats in the morning.
I love adding chia seeds to my overnight oats to thicken them up even more, and add a boost of nutrition.

Marcie love these overnight oats!! I need to start making these for breakfast to make my life easier and tastier!
These are just the things to make your day start off easier! Thanks, Ami!
I have been meaning to make overnight oats for the LONGEST time. And still have yet to do it. Love this with the blueberries! I can’t get enough of them right now!
Blueberries are so good right now, we’re going through them like crazy! They’re perfect in these oats and I hope you get to try them soon!
This is such a wonderful breakfast, Marcie! I’ve only made overnight oats one other time and I love it! You’re totally reminding me that I need to do it more often! Love the addition of chia seeds, too! Pinned!
Thank you, Gayle! I plan to have a batch of these in the fridge the entire summer!
This overnight oats looks amazing! Loved this awesome breakfast treat! Making soon! Have a good day!

Love these overnight oats, Marcie! The blueberry and coconut combo is so yummy and perfect for summer and the chia seeds sound perfect! Yum!
This is a must for me..sounds and looks soo good, love all the ingredients used.
This post reminds me that there’s more you can do with oats than just cook them up with hot milk! In the winter I like that, but in the summer it just doesn’t seem right. Now these are so much more ‘appropriate’! Just love the idea of preparing ahead and just grabbing out the fridge in the morning. I’m so NOT in the mood for anything complicated before about mid-day!!
It doesn’t feel right eating hot oats in the summer, does it? I can do coffee hot, but not oats! I’m glad you agree, Helen, and I hope you give them a try!
This is like having dessert for breakfast in my world. And that is a most excellent way to start the day!
We live in the same world, Carol — they feel like dessert to me, too.
I am so not a morning person and throwing everything together at the last minute. This is totally my kind of breakfast! This looks delicious, plus it’s healthy too 😉
These are life savers for me — now i just need an easier method for making my coffee.
Yes, I am like you…do not want to move much in the morning…and this overnight oats just sound perfect…delicious with fresh fruits.
Have a great week Marcie 🙂
It’s so nice waking up to breakfast that’s already made! Thanks, Juliana!
I need more helathy recipes like this to start my day! These oats look healthy and satisfying!!
They’re very satisfying, Renee, and so creamy they seem dessert-like! Hope you’re having a great week!
Yum! I love a make-ahead breakfast. Makes it so much easier to get out of bed when you know you have something yummy waiting for you!
It sure does! I just need my coffee to be hand delivered to me now.
I really have to get on board with the whole CHIA thing!
Do it!
These look so tasty Marcie and easy! I love the idea of overnight and waking up to a nutritious, delicious breakfast in the morning. Pinned! xoxo
I love how creamy these are, and it’s like a new breakfast every day depending on how you customize. Now I just need a coffee delivery service! Haha. Thanks for he pin, Kristi!
Last summer, I had overnight oats almost every day – but this year, I hadn’t had any yet – and yours look so insanely delish – I am wishing I had Overnight oats for dinner!
Definitely making these oats today so I can have a delicious breakfast tomorrow morning. Love overnight oats!
I can’t get enough of these, Thalia. I hope you enjoy them!
My kiddos love overnight oats – but I have never tried chia seeds. I need to get on the ball! 🙂
I really loved the chia seeds in this, Jamie, and it’s one bandwagon I’m glad I got on! 🙂
I need to get on the chia bandwagon…! This looks so delicious!
It’s only been recently that I have become a fan of overnight oats – I love trying new flavors!
Thanks, Jamie — the flavor combinations are endless! 🙂
These are so great! Now I just need to find the time/energy for them before I go to bed…..definitely easier than finding it in the morning! 🙂
I have no energy in the morning, so these are perfect for me! Thanks, Cathy!
