Blueberry-Sunflower Seed Overnight Oats

Soaking oats in milk overnight, or for a few hours, softens them so they’re ready to eat with no fuss (or cooking) in the morning. This combination pairs sweet fiber-rich blueberries, crunchy sunflower seeds packed with healthy fats and a touch of maple syrup.
