When I first saw overnight oatmeal, I was intrigued. I wasn't sure how it would taste the being cold, not cooked, and never even warm! I thought I'd try it, and a friend said she only liked it with peanut butter in it. I tried it a few times, and some days and recipes were better than others. The recipe I'm sharing today is one I adapted from this recipe.
Lemon Blueberry No-Cook Oatmeal
3/4 Cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal
3/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Coconut Milk
1/4 C Pecans
1/4 C Blueberries
1 Tb Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (1/2 lemon)
1 Tb Chia Seeds
1 tsp Honey
3/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Coconut Milk
1/4 C Pecans
1/4 C Blueberries
1 Tb Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (1/2 lemon)
1 Tb Chia Seeds
1 tsp Honey
Combine the oatmeal, lemon juice, blueberries, pecans, chia seeds, and almond coconut milk in an airtight container.
Refrigerate overnight. Add an extra splash of coconut milk in the morning of the oatmeal is thicker than you prefer.
Add honey, lemon zest and as many blueberries as you want.

The verdict is-I added a lot of honey because it wasn't sweet enough for me. I considered adding stevia. If my blueberries had been sweeter, maybe I wouldn't have needed something, but they were not sweet enough for me. This reminded me again of why I really like peanut butter flavored overnight oatmeal. It adds more flavor!
What overnight oatmeal recipes do you like? I'd love a really good recipe!
