Tips for Success:

• Flavor Profile: These Vegan Blueberry Buckle Overnight Oats are delicious, rich, and are a healthy nod toward the traditional blueberry buckle but in an overnight oats breakfast yumminess. Rich, buttery crumble layers take these tasty overnight oats to the next level. They are an ideal breakfast treat that is full of creamy deliciousness, decadent crumble, and fresh blueberries. Healthy and full of flavor, these overnight oats are full of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
• Time: These overnight oats do take a little extra effort because of making and baking the buckle balls, but they are oh-so-worth it.
• Rolled Oats: We used gluten free whole grain rolled oats. Feel free to used regular whole grain oats. Do not use instant oats for the buckle part.
• Fast One Hour Method Alternative:  We loved these oats so much that we found ourselves making them over and over again. We simply couldn’t wait for them to be ready overnight. So, we tested them using Quick Oats. They worked fantastic. You only need to make them using quick cooking rolled oats instead over whole grain rolled oats, then put them in the fridge and wait one hour. We used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Organic Quick Cooking Oats.
• Buckle Balls: The buckle balls will be slightly overdone so they can break up easily and hold their own in the overnight oats without becoming soggy.
• Toasted Walnuts:  The toasted walnuts are optional. We loved them, but they are not necessary for the dish to taste fantastic. If adding the toasted walnuts be sure to watch the walnuts carefully so they do not burn.
• Yogurt: Use an unflavored, plain plant yogurt or use a vanilla flavored, unsweetened plant yogurt. If using a vanilla flavored yogurt, leave out the vanilla or still add it for extra flavor.
• Vanilla: If using vanilla flavored unsweetened yogurt, leave out the vanilla or add it for extra flavor.
• Maple Syrup Substitutions: Feel free to use your favorite sweetener, or none at all.
• Sweetness: The beauty of this recipe is that you can taste the end product before serving. Feel free to ramp up the maple syrup if needed.
• Cinnamon: Not all cinnamon is created equal.  Some brands of cinnamon are light and passively flavored while others are strong, sharp, and astringent.  Use judgement and start on the low end.  Note that Ceylon cinnamon has a very light flavor.  You can use your favorite cinnamon in this recipe; however, we strongly suggest starting on the low end until you have a strong understanding of how the cinnamon that you are using in this recipe impacts the flavor.

Leftovers and Freezing:

Leftovers will generally keep 3 days in the refrigerator.  Store in a covered air-tight container.

These overnight oats do not freeze well.

Pantry Products:

• Rolled Oats: Use whole grain rolled oats, not instant oats. We used Bob’s Red Mill Rolled Oats (Whole Grain) in a kitchen test.
• Gluten Free Rolled Oats: Use whole grain rolled oats, not instant oats. We used Bob’s Red Mill Organic Rolled Oats (Whole Grain), Gluten Free in a kitchen test.
• Gluten Free Rolled Instant Oats: We used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Organic Quick Cooking Oats. Feel free to use your favorite instant or quick cooking oats in a kitchen test.
• Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.

• Glass container (for making the overnight oats)
• For serving: Overnight oats glass mugs with lids (we used 4 pcs Set Vintage Coffee Mugs, Overnight Oats Containers with Bamboo Lids (feel free to use your favorite containers)

Instructions

1. Place the rolled oats and unsweetened plain plant milk into a bowl, mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Make the Buckle. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Add all the Buckle Ingredients into a medium-sized bowl, stir well to incorporate all the ingredients. Roll into firm 1-inch balls (optional – use a tablespoon cookie scoop – makes 16 buckle balls). Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes. When 10 minutes has expired, then switch the oven from bake to broil. Broil the Buckle Balls just until the tops are lightly browned (approximately one to two minutes). Remove from the oven and allow the Buckle Balls to cool.
3. In the meantime, toast the walnuts. Place the walnuts into a medium-sized nonstick skillet and dry toast them over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir them around the pan to ensure they do not burn. When the walnuts are fragrant, they are done. Immediately remove them from the skillet to prevent them for burning. Allow them to cool.
4. Just before serving add all the Base Ingredients (including 1/2 cup of the toasted chopped walnuts) and mix thoroughly with the Overnight Oat mixture.
5. To assemble, crumble 3 Buckle Balls in the bottoms of each jar. (For 3 jars, that is 3 per jar or 9 buckle balls total).  Divide the Overnight Oat Mixture evenly in the 3 jars over top of the crumbled buckle balls. Then take the remaining Buckle Balls and break them apart and top each of the Overnight Oats with the crumbled Buckle Balls. Top with additional blueberries, a sprinkle of chopped toasted walnuts and a light drizzle of maple syrup. When eating, mix all the layers together and enjoy!
