Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if gluten-sensitive)
1 lemon, zested (not the juice), divided
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
⅓ cup homemade date syrup (or 2 pitted dates, minced)
1 cup soy milk, plain and unsweetened
1 cup blueberries
1 teaspoon unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

Zest the lemon with a microplane grater, taking care not to include the white part of the peel. All the lemon flavor is in the yellow part.
Add rolled oats, homemade date syrup, all but a pinch of lemon zest, chia seeds, and unsweetened soy milk into a mixing bowl.
Stir well to combine.
Let the overnight oats mixture sit for five or more minutes to set up.
Start layering the overnight oats jars by adding some blueberries to the bottom.
Layer the oat mixture and repeat until full. Top with a pinch of coconut flakes and a remaining lemon zest, and enjoy!

Notes

We recommend either the 8-ounce or 16-ounce mason jars.
You can enjoy this delicious "overnight" oats jar immediately or put it in the refrigerator overnight. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Wondering what to do with the rest of the lemon you zested? Use it to make a salad dressing, such as Tahini Lemon Sauce, Green Goddess Dressing, or Vegan Caesar Salad.
