Add sweetness & flavor:
Stir in honey (or maple syrup) for a touch of sweetness. -
Let it rest:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Stir once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping. -

Serve & enjoy:
Garnish with extra blueberries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, and an extra peanut butter swirl if desired.
