Annnnndddd… did I mention you can make four servings of these healthy blueberry overnight oats in under 20 minutes?! Yup!!
Go ahead and dare your inner blueberry muffin-loving self to see how these healthy blueberry overnight oats compare.
I get this question a lot with overnight oats…
Should I microwave my healthy blueberry overnight oats?!
It is totally up to you!!
Call us slightly lazy in the morning, but we like to eat our overnight oats straight out of the refrigerator.
If you prefer your overnight oats heated, simply stir your oats and then microwave them until your desired temperature is reached. Just know that the texture of the oats may be slightly affected and more liquid may need to be added for best results.
Don’t like pecans?
Feel free to substitute the pecans in the crumble for any nut of your choosing. Walnuts and almonds would taste amazing, too!

Jacquie says
Can I substitute Ground flax seed for the chia seed?
London Brazil says
Absolutely, Jacquie! Feel free to switch and change it up however you’d like!
Anna Marie says
If I make the whole recipe, how long will it keep in the refrigerator? This sounds absolutely delicious!
London Brazil says
Overnight oats typically last for about 4 days in the refrigerator. The oats will get mushier as the days progress, though. I would advise prepping all of them but then saving the milk to add in the night before! Thanks for the question, Anna!
Anna Marie says
Thank you. I’m going to make them tonight!
kanta says
We don’t use microwaves…is there another alternative? I would like the blueberries to be able to “burst and form a blueberry sauce.” Thanks!
London says
Hi Kanta! Yes, there absolutely is. Simply bring them to a boil with a touch of water in a saucepan, reduce heat to a simmer, and then wait for them to “burst.” It works equally as well!
