Overnight oats are ideal when you want to start the day calmly and well prepared. Soaking them overnight in milk or yogurt in the refrigerator creates a creamy breakfast that is both fresh and filling. With chia seeds, blueberries, and nuts, this recipe strikes a nice balance between soft, crunchy, and slightly sweet, perfect for serving straight from the refrigerator.

- 80 g oatmeal

Supplies
- Preserving jar
- Spoon
- Cutting board and knife
