Blueberry Muffin Batter Overnight Oats
This may sound kind of odd, but I like blueberry muffin batter even more than regular cake batter. I know it is slightly less sweet but that is what I love about it. That and the few berries that I may or may not have purposely left behind in the bowl so I could enjoy them wink wink. It is good stuff! And, if you are making vegan batter as I always do, then no risk for salmonella contamination. My Dad would always warn me of that when I begged to lick the bowl as a child when he would make muffins on Saturday mornings. But I never listened. So as much as I love blueberry muffin batter, when I was making my overnight oats last weekend, and I had some blueberries...it had to be blueberry muffin batter flavor.
I gave it the flavor of blueberry muffin batter by including a bit of vanilla and cinnamon, but also some Sprout Living Epic Vanilla Lucuma Protein Powder. For some reason, when I mix it into things it reminds me of muffin batter, so it was perfect. And not only that, I needed an extra boost of protein. I always add chia seeds in my overnight oats as well for a hit of omega 3 oils. This stuff was delicious! Like blueberry muffin batter and oatmeal got married and had a child. The best part is, it is simple to make and all you need to do the next morning is enjoy!
Blueberry Muffin Batter Overnight Oats
Serves 1-2
1/2 cup gluten free steel cut oats or rolled oats (if you want this to be raw use raw rolled oats)
1 1/2 cups filtered water
2 scoops Sprout Living Epic Vanilla Lucuma Protein Powder*
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
stevia or maple syrup to taste
1 cup fresh blueberries
In a jar, combine all ingredients, and stir to mix together. Let sit in the refrigerator covered overnight. Enjoy in the morning!
*If you do not wish to add protein powder, then simply use your favorite non dairy milk, 1 cup instead of the 1 1/2 cups water in this recipe (the protein powder adds heft and richness, so you milk instead of water gives it this).
