Combine Base Ingredients
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup of almond milk, ½ cup of coconut yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Add a pinch of lemon zest for a bright note. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl and let it rest for a few minutes while you prepare the next step.
Sweeten to Taste
- If you prefer a touch of natural sweetness, mash a ripe banana in a separate bowl, then stir it into the oat mixture from Step 1.
- Once mixed, make sure everything is combined well before moving on to the fruit.
Mix in Blueberries
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries into the oat mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Cover the bowl again and place it in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Blueberry Chia Compote
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or raw honey), along with a splash of lemon juice and a dash of vanilla extract. Stir frequently.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Assemble and Serve
- After the oat mixture has chilled overnight (about 4-6 hours), take it out of the refrigerator and give it a good stir.
- Top each serving with a generous spoonful of the blueberry chia compote and a sprinkle of your favorite granola for that perfect crunchy finish.

Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. For a larger batch, freeze portions for up to 2 months. Keep granola separate until serving for the best crunch.
