Blueberry Maple Overnight Oats are an easy and delicious way to eat lots of protein and fiber for breakfast. Plant-based and sugar-free!
Oats are such an incredible breakfast. They are so versatile -- you can heat them up, turn them into overnight oats, make muesli, bake them into granola -- the possibilities are endless.
And not only that, but you can flavor them however you want. Blueberry Orange, Purple Pear, and Banana Turmeric are some of my favorite flavor combinations!
You can pretty much pick any fruit, spice, seed, or extract you want and have a delicious bowl of goodness for breakfast. Or dessert if you're weird like me.
I used to track my macro-nutrient intake to make sure I was getting enough protein to sustain my workout regimen. Back then, eating oatmeal concerned me because it doesn't have buckets of protein.
Don't get me wrong, oats DO have protein. And fiber, which is actually more important than protein. But I digress...
I started thinking up creative ways to eat oats for breakfast while getting a hefty serving of protein. I tried plant-based protein powder, which worked well, but honestly I got tired of paying so much for a highly-processed food when I could eat protein naturally.
So I decided to use a super secret ingredient that gives oats an incredible thick, creamy texture AND tons of protein.
Okay... I'll tell you. I used tofu.
Don't freak out. Tofu has very little flavor. And when you mix it in with the oats, fruit, and other add-ins you cannot taste it at all. Instead, you get super duper thick oats.
Speaking of other ingredients, let's go through them.
Step 1. In a small container or mason jar, mix the oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl mash up the tofu.
Step 2. Add the tofu, oat milk, maple syrup, maple extract, vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Stir in the blueberries.
Step 3. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Serve with additional blueberries and maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!
Thank you God for giving us foods that fuel our bodies. Thank you for giving us the means to eat minimally processed foods that are so good for us. Amen.
