Equipment

  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup or light agave nectar optional
  • 2 tablespoons of chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon of natural vanilla extract optional
  • 1 cup of frozen wild blueberries plus extra for garnish
  • ¼ cup of chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for added crunch
  • 13.5- ounce can of full-fat coconut cream

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  • Start by grabbing a medium-sized mixing bowl. Measure out one cup of old-fashioned rolled oats and add it to the bowl. If you’re a night owl, you can prepare this the night before for an even easier morning.

Step 2: Add the Chia Seeds and Cinnamon

  • Next, sprinkle in the two tablespoons of chia seeds and the teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This step ensures that your dish will have that lovely spice flavor and added nutrients from the chia seeds.

Step 3: Pour in the Maple Syrup and Vanilla

  • Drizzle the pure maple syrup or light agave nectar over the dry ingredients. If you fancy a bit more sweetness, this step is where the magic happens. Additionally, add the ½ teaspoon of natural vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost.

Step 4: Mix in the Blueberries

  • Measure out one cup of frozen wild blueberries and mix them into your oat base. The frozen berries will thaw as you let the mixture sit, making them juicy and delicious by the time you dig in.

Step 5: Combine with Coconut Cream

  • Lastly, open your can of full-fat coconut cream. Pour it over the mixture and stir everything together until well combined. This step transforms your dish from ordinary to extraordinarily creamy.

Step 6: Let it Sit

  • Cover your bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight. This sitting time allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid, resulting in a truly mushy, delightful texture.

Notes

  • Soak Overnight: For best results, let your dish sit overnight. This gives the ingredients plenty of time to meld together.
  • Use Frozen Berries: Frozen wild blueberries are often more budget-friendly and retain their nutritional value.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the amount of maple syrup or skip it entirely.
  • Texture Variations: For a crunchier texture, toast the chopped nuts before adding them to your mixture.
  • Fresh Garnish: Add fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
