Additionally, rolled oats are a great source of essential nutrients, including vitamins B1 and B5, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: additional blueberries, lemon zest, coconut flakes, or nuts

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

    Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, reserving a handful for topping later.

      Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual jars or containers with lids.

        Place in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours), allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a creamy texture.

          In the morning, give the mixture a good stir. If the oats are too thick, you can add a splash more of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

            Serve in bowls or jars, topped with the reserved blueberries, a sprinkle of lemon zest, and any other optional toppings you prefer.
