Blueberry banana overnight oats with chia seeds

Blueberry banana overnight oats jar with chia seeds is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. This quick and easy recipe combines the rich flavors of ripe bananas and juicy blueberries with the added texture of chia seeds. It's a perfect make-ahead breakfast that will keep you energized through the morning.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Jar: Start by selecting a jar or container with a secure lid. Mason jars work great for this purpose.
2. Layer the Ingredients: Add 1/4 cup of oats to the jar. Then pour in 1/2 cup of almond milk over the oats, ensuring that the oats are fully submerged.
3. Add the Fruit: Measure out 1/3 cup of banana slices and 1/2 cup of blueberries. Layer the banana slices on top of the oats, followed by the blueberries.
4. Incorporate Chia Seeds: Sprinkle 1/2 tbsp of chia seeds evenly over the fruit and oat mixture. Chia seeds will expand and provide a nice texture to the oats.
5. Sweeten it Up: Add 1 tsp of powdered sugar to the jar for a hint of sweetness. If you prefer a natural sweetener, consider using honey or maple syrup instead.
6. Mix (Optional): If you'd like, you can give the mixture a gentle stir to combine all the ingredients. This helps ensure the chia seeds distribute evenly, but it’s not necessary if you prefer defined layers.
7. Seal and Refrigerate: Secure the lid tightly on the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit overnight (or at least 4-5 hours) to allow the oats to soften and the chia seeds to hydrate.
8. Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a good stir before eating. You can enjoy them straight from the jar or transfer them to a bowl. Feel free to add additional toppings like nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and texture.

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas for added sweetness and a smoother texture.

- You can substitute almond milk with any other milk of your choice, such as soy milk, oat milk, or regular cow's milk.

- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

- Ensure the oats and chia seeds have enough time to absorb the liquid. It's best to prepare the jar the night before and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.

- Feel free to top the oats with additional fresh blueberries or banana slices in the morning for an added burst of freshness.

With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can enjoy a wholesome and delicious breakfast with this blueberry banana overnight oats jar with chia seeds. Perfect for busy mornings, this nutrient-packed jar will provide you with the energy you need to start your day on the right foot.
