Description
A naturally sweetened, fiber-rich overnight oats recipe designed for blood sugar balance. Perfect for diabetics seeking a flavorful, easy breakfast with lasting energy.
Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
Optional: 1–2 drops liquid stevia or pinch of monk fruit
Instructions
1. Add rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseed, and cinnamon into a mason jar or bowl.
2. Pour in almond milk and stir thoroughly to combine.
3. Top with blueberries and a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
4. Add stevia or monk fruit if extra sweetness is desired.
5. Seal the jar and refrigerate overnight, at least 6 hours.
6. In the morning, stir and enjoy chilled or gently warmed.
Notes
Use steel-cut oats if you prefer extra texture (soak slightly longer). Quick oats have a higher glycemic index, so rolled or steel-cut oats are better choices for blood sugar control.
Swap blueberries with raspberries or diced peaches for variety. Monitor the amount of fruit used, especially if blood sugar tends to fluctuate.
Double the recipe and prep 2–3 jars in advance for the week.
Make it dairy-free with coconut yogurt or other unsweetened plant-based options.
