If we're honest, is pie filling and jam really all that different?

We're using Lucky Leaf premium canned pie filling for this recipe. I love their pie filling because it is easy to find, affordable and it has no high fructose corn syrup, just real sugar to sweeten it. They also offer organic options in cherry, blueberry and apple flavors.

These blackberry pie overnight oats is a variation on my blackberry overnight oats with jam recipe.

📋 Substitutions and variations

Crumbled cookie "crust" - crumble a vegan cookie of your choice on top for a little bit of "crust". A few vegan cookie options: Lotus biscoff cookies, Goya chocolate Maria cookies, Aldi animal crackers (they're the best!) and an honorable mention, though not vegan: graham crackers (they contain honey, so if you don't consume honey, skip this one).
Creamy vanilla yogurt layer - Instead of mixing in the yogurt, try layering it if you want to make this into more of a "dessert". Or, top with dairy-free whipped cream.
Cherry pie - use premium cherry pie filling instead of blackberry to make cherry pie overnight oats
Blueberry pie - use premium blueberry pie filling instead of blackberry to make blueberry pie overnight oats
Double Blackberry - use blackberry jam along with fresh or frozen blackberries for double blackberry overnight oats
