Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey for sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Additional milk for serving
- Additional mini chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly blend rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, hemp hearts, sweetener, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips until well incorporated.
- Securely cover the mixture and store in refrigerator for minimum 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing ingredients to meld and soften.
- For blackberry sauce, simmer fresh blackberries with honey and fresh lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until mixture thickens and becomes slightly syrupy.
- Remove blackberry sauce from heat and let cool completely to room temperature, which helps develop deeper flavor and prevents melting the oat mixture.
- When ready to serve, alternate layers of chilled oat mixture and cooled blackberry sauce in serving glasses or bowls, creating visually appealing stratification.
- Garnish the top with additional chocolate chips for extra texture and visual appeal, ensuring each serving has a delightful crunch and sweet finish.
Notes
- Swap plant-based milk for dairy to create a vegan-friendly version that’s creamy and delicious.
- Customize sweetness levels by adjusting honey or using alternative natural sweeteners like maple syrup or agave.
- Enhance protein content by adding extra hemp hearts or a scoop of protein powder for a more filling breakfast.
- Prep multiple jars in advance for easy grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week, saving time during busy mornings.
