Hi friends! Guess who’s back with another overnight oat recipe. We are making some blueberry lemon oats. I think these are my favourite ones at the moment.
This breakfast screams summer! Lemon makes them so refreshing and then we’ve also got the freshness from blueberries. And wait, that’s not even everything yet. These overnight oats are eaten cold, straight from the fridge! It’s perfect for warm sunny day which are ahead of us.
I love lemon flavoured anything and I find lemon to go well with blueberries. The flavours go perfectly with the texture of overnight oats. If you’ve never had them before, they have pudding-like consistency, especially if you use instant oats. Chia seeds are what gives them a thick combined texture.
If you are looking for a quick, cold and delicious breakfast, these overnight oats are the way to go.
I find they only taste delicious when eaten cold. I don’t like the flavour of them warm and they also have a sour after taste which I’m not a fan of. But as always, you might like it so feel free to give it a try.
I don’t only like overnight oats when I’m in a rush in the morning. I like to make them ahead every day. That way I don’t have to worry about what I’m going to have for breakfast and start my day off right away.
You might think I must get bored of them since I eat them every day but believe me, not at all! I maybe would be if I were going to eat the same flavour overnight oats every day but since there’s endless combinations, I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of them. Just try making the apple pie overnight oats I made some time ago and these lemon blueberry ones and you’ll see they don’t feel like they have the same base at all!

Boy, this looks soooo good, wish there were a few lined up in the fridge right now on this hot/humid day. Thanks. Do you think it would be good with rolled oats?
Thank you!! Wish I could send you one ;) Yes, it works perfectly with rolled oats!
(Sorry for late reply)
This looks very tasty, love blueberries and lemon together. A little sweet with tart! I'll have to try it! Well done. Beautiful photos!
Thank you!! I love that combo as well, it's one of my favourites!
(Sorry for late reply, better late than never, right)
Great posts, I love the shots ☺️
Thank you!! :)
How can overnight oats look so yummy?! I've only tried to make them a few times, but let me tell you, the appearence was far from appetizing... 😅 Perhaps I'll have to try your recipe! 😋
Wow really? I'm surprised to hear that! Mine always turn out looking decent, even if I don't try. What flavour did you try making?
It's been a while since I tried to prepare overnight oats but I remember using blueberries and avocado. I also added chia seeds, and think that one of the main mistakes I made was adding too much liquid so it looked a bit like vomit 😅
The weird color was probably from avocado, I've never tried using it in overnight oats before though. Yes, liquid is another really important part when it comes to overnight oats. I recommend 3:4 ratio, so 3/4 cup liquid and 1 cup oats :)
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind the next time I'll make overnight oats! 😊
