Scale
Fresh Ingredients:
- ½ cup gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup fresh organic blueberries
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Liquid and Dairy Components:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) nut milk (vanilla, unsweetened almond milk recommended)
- 5 tablespoons vanilla coconut yogurt
- 2.5 tablespoons (37.5 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or rice malt syrup, date nectar, or raw honey)
Supplementary Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2.5 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon crumbled walnuts or granola (for topping)
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 heaping teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon collagen powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lucuma powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts (optional)
Instructions
- Craft the oat base by blending rolled oats with creamy nut milk, silky vanilla coconut yogurt, aromatic vanilla extract, and golden maple syrup in a glass container. Whisk thoroughly to ensure complete ingredient integration.
- Gently fold fresh blueberries into the oat mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the creamy foundation.
- Create a vibrant blueberry compote by combining whole blueberries, bright lemon zest, tangy lemon juice, sweet maple syrup, and nutrient-rich chia seeds in a small saucepan.
- Heat the compote over medium temperature, encouraging blueberries to soften and burst. Gradually increase heat to medium-high, allowing the mixture to simmer and develop depth.
- Use a wooden spoon to gently crush the blueberries, releasing their intense flavor and creating a rich, textured sauce. Continue cooking and stirring for 6-7 minutes until the compote thickens.
- Allow the compote to cool completely, tasting and adjusting sweetness if needed.
- Swirl one tablespoon of the blueberry compote into the prepared oats, creating a marbled effect.
- Seal the container and refrigerate overnight, enabling the oats to absorb liquid and develop complex flavors.
- Before serving, garnish with an additional tablespoon of blueberry compote, scatter fresh blueberries, and sprinkle crunchy walnuts or granola on top.
- For an optional nutritional enhancement, incorporate collagen powder, lucuma powder, and hemp hearts just before enjoying.
