If you follow me on Instagram, you already got a sneak peek at this bomb.com blueberry muffin overnight oats recipe. My reluctance to embrace Instagram stories out of loyalty to Snapchat has stepped aside, and I’m actually starting to really enjoy it. I love that you can tag people in stories and easily start messaging convos. I’ll be sharing health/fitness/blog/life stuff on there a lot more now. But back to this recipe …
I’ve mentioned before that I love blueberry muffin Larabars (I eat one almost every single day). This overnight oats recipe was born from that obsession. I was hesitant because lemon in oatmeal?! But trust me, it gives the oats a zing that perfectly compliments the sweetness of the blueberries and maple syrup. If you still think it sounds weird, just omit the zest so that the lemon flavor isn’t as intense.
I go through phases with breakfasts where I’ll eat the same thing almost every morning for months or even years before switching it up. Right now I’m definitely in an all-things-oatmeal phase. I love that it fills me up and keeps me satisfied until lunch. Usually in the summer my go-to switches to smoothies, but the refreshing zing of the lemon in these blueberry muffin overnight oats might make it a warm weather keeper for me.
If you’re a fan of make-ahead breakfasts, I love this hearty almond butter banana chia seed pudding. I also have some other overnight oats recipes in the archives.

I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend! On Friday night I cooked a big dinner for me and Joe and we just hung in, and then last night we had a friend’s birthday party at Capo in Southie. The basement of Capo is pretty hilarious. Upstairs it’s this nice Italian restaurant with people dressed up on dates. Then you go downstairs and it looks like the man cave of a dude in the throws of a midlife crisis. So random! Boston readers—have you been down there yet??
