Toasted Overnight Oats with Fresh Blueberries

Toasted Overnight Oats with Fresh Blueberries are made with buttery golden oats soaked overnight in tangy kefir and finished with fresh blueberries, toasted pecans, and a drizzle of honey. A wholesome, prep-ahead breakfast perfect for busy mornings or a leisurely brunch.

Ingredients

Oats

3 tablespoons butter

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

2 cups Grass fed original or blueberry kefir

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

Pinch of salt

Topping

2 cups fresh Blueberries

¼ cup toasted pecans

Honey, for drizzling

Directions

The night before, heat butter over medium-low heat in a large skillet. Once melted, add the oats. Stir to coat the oats with butter and allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove from heat, place in a bowl and let cool.
To the cooled oats, stir in the original or blueberry kefir, honey, vanilla, and salt. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, divide the cold oats into separate bowls and top with fresh blueberries, pecans, and a drizzle of honey. Also, if desired, serve with an extra drizzle of the kefir.

Notes

If you would like a warm component to the oats, place the blueberries in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 teaspoons honey. Cook, smashing the blueberries as they warm, to create a sauce. This also works well if you would like to use frozen berries.
