Blueberry Jam Overnight Oats
We love making Blueberry Jam Overnight Oats because it’s a no-fuss breakfast that’s ready when you are. What makes it worth making tonight? The combination of rolled oats, blueberry jam, and milk creates a deliciously creamy texture that’s hard to resist.
Kitchen Note
When making Blueberry Jam Overnight Oats for the first time, don’t skip the step of mixing the oats and milk really well. Also, be sure to use a jar or container with a wide mouth to make it easy to scoop out the oats in the morning. If you find the oats too thick, you can always add a little more milk to thin them out.

What you’ll need
The rolled oats, blueberry jam, and milk are the stars of the show here, and they come together to create a deliciously creamy and sweet breakfast.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup blueberry jam
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Tips for getting this right
- Mixing the oats and milk really well is key to avoiding a chunky texture.
- Don’t overfill the jar or container, as the oats will expand overnight.
- Using a high-quality blueberry jam makes a big difference in the flavor.
- Chilling the oats in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours is crucial for the right texture.
- Making it ahead and refrigerating overnight saves time in the morning.
Swaps and substitutions
To make a gluten-free version, simply use gluten-free oats. For a protein boost, you can add some Greek yogurt or nuts. If you’re not a fan of blueberry jam, you can try using a different type of jam or even fresh fruit. And if you want to make it vegan, you can use a non-dairy milk and skip the honey.
Storing and reheating
The oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store them in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid and give them a good stir before serving. To reheat, simply microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warmed through. You can also freeze the oats for up to 2 months – just thaw overnight in the refrigerator and give them a good stir in the morning. One tip for keeping them fresh is to add a little extra milk if they’ve thickened up too much.
