These no cook blueberry overnight oats satisfy all of my oatmeal cravings without having to cook over a hot stove.
In Fresno, it gets REALLY hot during the summer months. With summer inching closer and closer I do not want to have to give up oatmeal for breakfast!
Some of my other favorite breakfast recipes that don’t require using the oven in these hot summer months are my Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie , Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole , and No Bake Protein Energy Balls .
Why I love overnight oats:
- They are convenient – take with you on the go.
- Easy to prep before bed, and easy clean up!
- Provide fiber and can be heart healthy
- SUPER delicious!
- Can be eaten cold, or warmed up.
- Flavor and varieties are endless!

What you’ll need:
You can scroll down to the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and measurements.
- Oats : You can make them with either the old-fashioned rolled oats or the quick oats. I have made them both ways for this recipe and love both. It comes down to preference (most recipes use old-fashioned rolled oats NOT the quick 1 minute).
- Milk : Any milk! Cows milk, soy milk, almond milk, etc. Use non-dairy for vegan option.
- Greek yogurt : helps to make these oats nice and creamy. Also adds a boost of protein. Feel free to use a flavored yogurt if you prefer. We usually opt for plain!
- Blueberries , of course. You can use frozen, too!
- Honey or maple syrup : It adds a yummy touch of sweetness but you can leave out if you prefer. Use maple syrup for vegan option.
- Chia seeds : I love how the chia seeds thicken the texture of the oats. You can also use flaxseed if you don’t have chia, or add in both!
- Vanilla extract : I always add a teaspoon in my overnight oats because I love the hint of vanilla flavor.
- Cinnamon and salt: a dash of cinnamon and salt for a little extra flavor.
My overnight oats formula:
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 heaping cup old fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp. honey and vanilla
- pinch cinnamon and salt
- (+ any mix ins you want!) In this case, blueberries!
Step by Step directions:
It’s really simple:
- Pour all of the ingredients into a mason jar or small bowl.
- Stir to combine and pop a lid on.
- Place in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight!
Topping ideas:
You can top with nuts, nut butter, more chia seeds, ground flaxseed, more honey, more blueberries or even other fruit like strawberries or bananas.
I love the versatility of the product and how it is an easy swap for dairy – I have enjoyed putting it in my coffee, smoothies and in overnight oats!
Pro Tip!
In the morning when you are ready to enjoy your oats – add in more milk if you feel like the oats soaked up all of the liquid! Add your additional toppings and you’re set!
