    What are blended oats?

    Chocolate blended overnight oats without protein powder and no banana

    Blended oats are rolled (old-fashioned) oats that are processed in a blender or food processor and turned into fine flour.

    Oat flour is a naturally gluten-free flour with an impressive well-balanced nutrient content. It's rich in good carbs, high-quality plant protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

    Blended oats can be eaten raw together with milk, seeds, natural sweeteners, and nut butter to create the ultimate plant-based bowl with a smooth, easy-to-digest texture that's suitable for both kids and adults.

    Ingredients

    You'll need a few wholesome pantry staples to make this chocolate pb blended overnight oats recipe:

    Simple plant-based ingredients for healthy make ahead meal prep
    • Rolled (old-fashioned) oats. These heart-healthy whole grains are a good source of complex carbs, plant-based protein, and gut-friendly soluble fiber. Make sure you use certified gluten-free oats if you have a gluten allergy.
    • Dairy-free milk. (I used Homemade Oat Milk) but feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk or make DIY Cashew Milk or Almond Milk.
    • Cacao powder (unsweetened). It's packed with polyphenols, especially abundant in flavanols with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. 
    • Natural peanut butter (no sugar added). It contains a substantial amount of protein, magnesium, manganese, copper, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin E, vitamin B3 (niacin), and vitamin B6.
    • Chia seeds & ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal). These are loaded with various nutrients including high omega-3 fatty acids which improve digestive health, relieve constipation, and promote weight loss.
    • Pure maple syrup. To add a sweet, caramel-like taste with distinctive nutty tones.
    • Vanilla extract. Adds complexity and enhances the flavor.

    As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.

    How To Make

    Can you blend overnight oats? Absolutely! The nutritional content won't be affected if you blend your overnight oats. Actually, they'll have a creamier texture compared to traditional overnight oats.

    Healthy ingredients in a blender cup for vegan chocolate overnight oats meal prep

    Blend. Add oats, milk, cacao powder, peanut butter, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender and process until you get a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Soak. Pour the oat mixture into a jar or small container, cover, and place in the fridge overnight. If you are in a hurry shorten the soak time to at least 2-3 hours. The mixture will thicken as it sits in the fridge.

    Serve. In the morning, stir the mixture and taste. Add a few splashes of milk if it's too dense or stir in more maple syrup to make it sweeter. Top it with fresh/frozen fruit of choice, granola, nuts, or drizzle peanut butter. Dig in and enjoy!

    Substitutions

    This recipe is super adaptable. You can be creative with the mix-ins and toppings you choose to make it even more satisfying.

    • Add banana - to add natural sweetness and creaminess. If you use banana, reduce the amount of maple syrup.
    • Protein boost - blend a scoop of your favorite protein powder or dairy-free Greek yogurt and enjoy it as a post-workout recovery snack. Make sure to add more milk since protein powder with thicken the oat mixture even more.
    • Use dates, agave nectar, or date syrup if you are not a fan of maple.
    • A swirl of nut butter like peanut butter, cashew butter, or hazelnut butter (homemade nutella) will add depth, creaminess, and nuttiness to your oats.
    • Superseeds like hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds (pepitas) are a great addition instead of chia seeds and flaxseeds.
    • Cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg will add a delicate touch of warm, and spicy taste.
    • A sprinkle of granola will add texture and heartiness to your blended oats.

    Equipment

    You will need a high-powered blender to make this recipe.

    Storage

    The best way to store overnight oats is in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Give them a good stir before serving. If they are too thick add a splash of milk to thin the texture.

    Top tips

    • Since these blended overnight oats have an extremely smooth texture I recommend toppings like vegan chocolate chips, cacao nibs, granola, or chopped nuts to add a lovely crunch.
    • For multiple servings, increase the number of ingredients accordingly, blend, pour into individual jars, and place in the fridge.
    • If you are on a gluten-free diet make sure to buy only certified gluten-free oats.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Can you freeze blended overnight oats?

    Yes, you can freeze your overnight oats in individual freezer-friendly containers for up to 3 months. Save the desired toppings for just before serving.

    Is it healthy to eat overnight oats every day?

    Of course, there is no harm in eating overnight oats every day. They are a convenient on-the-go breakfast that can be a part of your morning rotation. Also, they are a healthy option that will improve your digestion naturally and support your weight-loss goals.

    Should you soak oats before blending?

    No, oats don't need to be soaked before blending.

    Is it OK to blend raw oats?

    Yes, raw oats are perfectly safe to consume. When you blend raw oats you literally turn them into oat flour and you can use them directly in your smoothies, pancakes, energy balls, or raw and unbaked cookies.

    Are 3 hours enough for overnight oats?

    If you are in a rush you can certainly soak your oats for at least 2-3 hours. Nevertheless, waiting overnight is preferred because it allows the oats, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal to soften into a palatable consistency that is easily digestible due to the fermentation process and reduction of phytic acid.

    Do oats lose fiber when blended?

    No, not at all. There would be fiber loss if you blend your oats.
