    These blueberry almond overnight oats are a great healthy breakfast to prepare the night before. The blueberry chia jam is delicious and naturally sweet, and can be made at the same time as the oats.

    It's no surprise that overnight oats are my go-to recipe for breakfast. If you've never made overnight oats before, this post goes over how to make overnight oats. Trust me, you'll be an expert after reading it!

    I love that overnights are made the night before, making them an easy grab-and-go breakfast in the morning. For busy mornings, this is perfect!

    This recipe is even better than my usual overnight oats because it adds the blueberry chia jam adds such a delicious fruity sweetness without any added sugar! The sliced almonds complete this breakfast because they add a much-needed crunch.

    Blueberry Nutrition Benefits

    Blueberries are high in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants.

    Fiber

    1 cup of blueberries contains about 4 grams of fiber (1). Fiber is one of the most important nutrients to promote good gut health.

    Also, fiber promotes regular digestion, may lower blood cholesterol, helps stabilize blood sugar, and may keep you feel full longer.

    Vitamin C

    1 cup of blueberries provides about 25% of the Daily Value (DV) of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is crucial for immune health, heart health and cancer prevention, wound healing, and skin health (2).

    Antioxidants

    Blueberries are high in antioxidants, which help fight against free radical effects on your body.

    Blueberries contain an antioxidant called anthocyanin. These antioxidants are mainly in the skin of blueberries, and may help prevent heart disease (3).

    How to Make Blueberry Chia Jam

    Time needed: 10 minutes.

    Chia jam is a weekly recipe in my house because it's so easy to make and a delicious additive in so many of my breakfast and snack recipes!

    1. Heat the blueberries

      Heat the blueberries in a small pot for 5 minutes over medium-low heat.

      You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. That's why I like this recipe so much - I can make it in any season and without worrying about the price of blueberries!

    2. Stir in chia seeds

      Once the blueberries are cooked, gently smash them with a spoon to make the blueberries burst.

      Stir in chia seeds and add a dash of cinnamon.

      FUN FACT: Cinnamon brings out the flavor of blueberries!

    3. Sweeten with maple syrup (optional)

      Depending on your preference, you can sweeten the chia jam with maple syrup.

    4. Thicken

      Let the chia jam sit for at least 5 minutes to allow it to thicken.

      I am so making these overnight oats. I have a blueberry bush and the berries are ready to pick. Chai seeds have become a bit of an obsession with me, so this is a perfect recipe.

      I haven't made overnight oats in ages, but I do have chia seeds and finally, we are getting some blueberries on our blueberry bushes, so I may even be able to make this with fresh from the garden blueberries! This recipe is perfect for a filling breakfast, that keeps me going until lunch time!
