Blueberry coconut overnight oats
I must say, this blueberry coconut overnight oats recipe was just what I needed. I was craving something light, filling and healthy so I made it to have for the week ahead. I love making overnight oats as it is so easy, versatile and healthy.
If you haven’t started making your own overnight oats you, let me tell you, you really are missing out. There are so many variations you can make that if you don’t like certain mixtures you can just go ahead and make your own.
If you would like some other overnight oats recipe ideas make sure you browse my breakfast section for more.
I love using fruit that is in season so today I decided to make this variation with blueberries. I actually used my hand blender to puree them so that they could mix in with the oats and milk better and give that intense purple color.
My kids where really pleased with this variation, as I also added some unsweetened shredded coconut which they love. You can also add any nuts of your choice, which I didn’t do this time around but I will in the future.
I tend to make really large quantities of overnight oats when it comes making them because we have them for the entire week ahead. We are a family of 4 so this amount will only last us about 5 days max.
You can totally half the amount if you don’t think you will need so much. The recipe will turn out just fine.
Well, I know some of you where waiting for the recipe, so here it is. I hope you like this blueberry coconut overnight oats variation. It is done in a matter of 5 minutes, it is healthy, easy and delicious.
Enjoy!

- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup maple syrup

In large mixing bowl mix all the ingredients. You may need a bit more milk if you like. I prefer mine a bit more liquid like than pudding consistency so I added more. Place mixture in the refrigerator overnight and eat the next morning.

Silly question but do you eat them cold or heated?
Either way you prefer :-)
Healthy and delicious…just like all of your recipes.
Made this last night and both hubby and I happily scoffed them down this morning!!! They are seriously seriously so so good and yummy! ! I didn’t have vanilla essence so I added organic vanilla powder (1/2 tspn) as it’s so potent and it really lifts the flavour
That is super awesome. I am glad you guys liked it so much and your substitution seems perfect to me :-) Thanks for trying my recipes and stopping by!
Where did you find your sweet glass jars:) ? And thank you for this recipe.
I got them a world market :-) Amazon has them two. Here is the link https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_ss_tl?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=wrek+jars&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Awrek+jars&linkCode=ll2&tag=eago4li0c-20&linkId=e28ae11334099e04f1bc572f0c281248
overnight oats are the besstttt! I love that this recipe makes alot so I can have it for the whole week and then some :)
These have given a new meaning to breakfast in the mornings. Great substitute for old flakes!!
I love overnight oats, but I typically cook mine on the stove… I’m so confused by this variation as there seems to be no cooking needed at all. I use steel cut oats rather than rolled oats… is that what makes the difference? Or can I do this with steel cut oats too?
You can not eat steel cut oats for this recipe. I use rolled oats, and no, you don’t have to cook the oats for this recipe :-) You can consume them straight from the fridge or warmed up in the microwave for a minute or so if you like!
when I clicked to print the ingredients were not therte
Did you get it to work? I have no idea why that can be happening!!
can you use steel cut oats
No for this method of making them. You will have too cook steel cut oats to make them soft!
no but will keep trying when I have time
HI, I am excited to try this recipe! If I would add protein powder, what would you suggest how many scoops with this large of recipe? It says 15-20 servings this serves. Thanks!
I would say at least 4 scoops if not more!
I don’t have maple syrup is there something else I can use? I’m so excited to try these!! It looks and sounds DELISH!
You can use honey or sugar :-)
Can’t wait to try this and your shirt with the deer is gorgeous!
I have wanted to try making one of these overnight oatmeal receipes for awhile now . I came across this one and can’t wait to try yours. I do have two questions-#1 is it sweetened or unsweetened almond milk? #2 Can I use Tupperware containers with airtight tops instead of a glass container? Thanx
Yes you can. I use unsweetened milk :-)
This recipe is both delicous and gorgeous! My coworkers were so curious about it.
If I left out the chia seeds next time (my intestines don’t like them), should I just use a bit more oats? Or maybe less almond milk? Thanks!

Either one would be fine :-)
Well this one is waiting to be eaten tomorrow morning and I’m so exited about it! I came across your homepage by chance and I already love it :-D It’s so full of gorgeous recipes, pictures, advices.. Keep going on this way!
I can’t use almond milk due to allergies, would rice or coconut milk be a suitable substitute? Would the coconut milk combined with the coconut overpower the flavour?
Yes you can use any other types of milk. I think any one would be fine!
Is 161g anout 1/2 cup?
Yes!
Can I make this without the fruit puree and add sliced fruit when I eat it? ( i like blueberries and my daughter likes strawberries) If so, any changes to the amount of almond milk I should use?
Yes you can. You can use a little bit less milk but essentially you can’t mess up the recipe :-)
I can’t wait to try this recipe but i have just 2 question what is the minimum time in the refrigerator & cani use flax & chia blend?
Yes you can. I would say it will stay for at least 5 days good to eat!!!
This looks really good — what is the serving size in cups instead of grams (161 g)?
Thank you kindly!
so I have never… do you warm this or eat it cold? sorry for dumb questions!! one of my pet peeves, but honestly, I have never!! thenks :)
You can eat them cold or warm, however you like…there is no right or wrong way :-)
Is it important to use a glass container? I only have plastic ones and was wondering whether using a glass one makes a difference in terms of taste, results, or length of time you can keep in the refrigerator. Thanks!
No you can use the plastic container if you like. I just don’t use plastic :-)
Made these, and I toasted the coconut! So delicious! Thanks!
