Ingredients

1 cup

Rolled Oats

¾ cup

Coconut Pastry Cream

3 oz

Blueberries

2 oz

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

½ cup

Roasted Pecans

1 tbsp

Maple Syrup

Note: Measurements are for 2 serving recipes.

Instructions

step 1

Make the chocolate pastry cream

In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate chips, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of water. Working in 30 second increments, microwave on high, stirring in between, until melted and smooth (or melt in a small pot on the stove, then transfer to a bowl). Add the pastry cream; whisk to combine.

step 2

Prepare the overnight oats

Add 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt to the bowl of chocolate pastry cream; whisk to combine. Add the oats; gently stir until just combined. Divide the prepared oats between two containers, leaving room for the oats to expand. Cover and refrigerate overnight until the oats are soft and fully hydrated.

step 3

Make the blueberry syrup & serve your dish

When ready to serve, wash and dry the blueberries. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the blueberries and maple syrup; stir to coat. Microwave 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until heated through and the blueberries have burst slightly. Mash gently with a fork. Serve the overnight oats topped with the blueberry syrup and pecans. Enjoy!
