Wild Blueberry Coconut Chia Overnight N’Oatmeal
Meet my I’m-not-a-breakfast-person kind of start to the day. I love breakfast food but I never have the time or inclination to eat before noon Monday through Friday. So I mix blueberries, coconut, coconut milk, chia seeds, hemp seeds, vanilla, and salt the night before, and wake up to thickened, glorious n’oats (which is short for “not oats” since there’s no oatmeal in this recipe).
This is keto, vegan, Whole30, and easy on the eyes, too. I love topping this n’oatmeal with almond butter, but if you’re avoiding nuts or want it extra hassle-free, then skip it.
I’m no stranger to n’oatmeal — I jumped on the bandwagon in 2015 with my N’Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl (banana, cinnamon, coconut, butternut squash purée). I also tried pumpkin cinnamon n’oatmeal that same year with my Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll N’Oatmeal, and baked n’oatmeal in 2016 with my Blueberry Baked N’Oatmeal. My two most recent n’oatmeal recipes are Banana Cream Pie N’Oatmeal and Creamy Coconut Blackberry N’Oatmeal.
This blackberry version may be my favorite. Anyway, it’s very, very, very clear that I love to play with the combination of fruit and coconut for a breakfast bowl.
I used flax milk for the liquid here, but whatever type of milk you prefer will work well. You could also use regular blueberries instead of wild ones, but wild blueberries are small and juicier, with more pronounced floral flavor notes.
This makes a big batch and it’s very filling. I decided on more blueberries, almond butter and edible flowers for my toppings but these would be great with any type of berry, stone fruit, or compote you have. If you prefer a sweeter version, experiment with some jam, shaved dark chocolate, or stevia (for a lower carb version). This recipe is easy, tasty, and versatile!

How many days would this last in the refrigerator? Could I make 3 days worth at a time?
Fresh Planet Flavor
LeanneI think it will last about four days in the refrigerator. Does that help to answer your question?
Rene
If this makes 6 servings, will it last in the fridge 4-6 days? Or if you will be the only one eating, should you half (or quarter if it will only last 1 day)?
Fresh Planet Flavor
ReneRene, I think it will last four days, but I wouldn’t be so sure about six. Hope this helps!

Blueberry has many health benefits like it reduces the chance of heart attack, helps in weight loss, lowers blood sugar level and many more.

Love the ingredients in this! I’ve been not so into coconut lately (gasp) so I’d like to try this one!

Mine came out really liquid-y and not at all like the photo. Any ideas why?

Can you have vanilla extract on whole 30?
Fresh Planet Flavor
KimberlyKimberly, use vanilla bean paste for Whole30 compliance.
