  3. Add blueberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
  4. Divide the mixture into jars or airtight containers, and seal tightly. Place them in the refrigerator overnight (or at least for 4-6 hours).

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can eat them cold or warm them up in the microwave for about 30 seconds. If you need to freeze the oats, do so without toppings and add them when ready to serve.
