Substitions/Recipe Tips
Rolled Oats – the best type for overnight oats is large or old-fashioned oats. Steel-cut oats can also be used. The texture will be chewy. Gluten-free oats work in this recipe.
Milk and Yogurt – both regular and dairy-free options are perfect in this recipe. Flavoured or plain. I like Greek yogurt, but regular works just as well.
Agave Nectar – used as a sweetener. Replace it with honey, maple syrup, maple sugar, or coconut sugar.
Jam – I used fig jam, but any jam works.
Blueberries – you can also use strawberries or raspberries. Frozen berries can also be used in place of fresh berries.
Chia Seeds and Hemp Hearts – chia seeds are used in the recipe, and hemp hearts are for garnish. You could also use pumpkin seeds.
Storing – always store in the refrigerator covered or in an airtight container. This recipe will last for about 5 days.

I am a morning person and I do like breakfast. Except Hubby is stuck in his breakfast rotation. I want to shake it up. Make it a little more exciting. I mean, after all, who wants the same old ho hum oatmeal, right? This would be perfect. I will have to get some additional ingredients we don’t have on hand. But that’s okay, at least we’ll have a delicious change.
Homemade & Yummy
It is easy to get stuck in a food rut. I need change, and this is a great change for plain oatmeal. Also it can be made ahead of time and used throughout the busy weekday mornings.
Tonya C
What a great idea to make this at night and have it all ready in the morning! With our busy mornings, I’ll take this shortcut!
Chef G
Makes mornings much easier that’s for sure.
Amanda
This looks like a delicious, not difficult breakfast. I’m guilty of grabbing less than healthy stuff, because I forget there are recipes that aren’t difficult!
Chef G
So easy…make lots to last a few days!!

I am like you – not a breakfast person. Most of my family loves breakfast early in the morning – this recipe seems like one they would really enjoy
Chef G
It is good….easy and nutritious.
Shirley Wood
Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfast foods. For some reason we tend to make it more often in the winter months than in the summer. Yours looks really yummy with those blueberries! I’m an early bird so I don’t usually skip breakfast.
Chef G
Hope you give it a try…and ENJOY!!
Jocelyn @ Hip Mama's Place
I’m not a huge breakfast person either, but I love jazzing up my oatmeal! This recipe looks yummy and easy enough to put together. Thanks for sharing!
