These Vegan Blueberry Buckle Overnight Oats are every bit as delicious and rich as the classic fruit-forward buckle, but with a plant-based, health-conscious twist.

Scale
Overnight Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cup rolled oats *
- 1 ¼ cup unsweetened plain plant milk
Base Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup (+/-) *
- ½ cup plain unsweetened plant yogurt (or vanilla yogurt) *
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla *
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (+/-) *
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *
Buckle Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon unsweetened almond butter *
- 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *
Optional Toppings:
- Sprinkle fresh blueberries
- Sprinkle chopped toasted walnuts (optional)
- Drizzle pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Place the rolled oats and unsweetened plain plant milk into a bowl, mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
