My Blended Overnight Oats are So Good!
You know how much I love Overnight Oats! I’ve been making the base recipe for YEARS in pretty much every flavor combination I could think of. I love overnight oats so much, I even started my own overnight oats company called Oath with four del!
One of the biggest questions I get about overnight oats is, what if I don’t like the texture? That got me thinking—what if I blended them? The result? A super creamy, almost pudding-like texture where you can’t even tell it’s oats. Then I started blending in frozen fruit for different colors and flavors, and l’ll just say… soo good!
I only photographed four variations of blended oats here, but don’t miss the variations section for even more ideas!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Oats: The only must-have ingredient. Use plain old-fashioned oats, not quick oats, for the best texture. Gluten-free oats work too, but skip steel-cut oats.
- Milk: Any milk or water even works here. Use full fat, 2% or low-fat milk or go with a plant-based milk like almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk or oat milk.
- Frozen fruit of choice: strawberries, blueberries, mangos, or even spinach with apples!
- Greek yogurt: for added protein and creaminess, but you can skip this and add more milk if you’d like.
- Chia seeds (optional): They add a boost of nutrition and give the oats a pudding-like texture, so I like to include them in my base recipe.
- Sweetener: I usually go with honey or maple syrup especially if you’re doing a version with spinach!
Variations
Switch up your blended overnight oats with different flavors! Here are a few of my favorites, but feel free to get creative.
- Berry Blast: Blend in ½ cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) for a fruity, antioxidant-packed version.
- Mocha Latte: Use ¾ cup of milk and add in ¼ cup brewed coffee (cooled) and 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for a coffee-chocolate combo.
- Chocolate Banana: Mix in 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and ½ banana for a chocolate covered banana flavor.
- Peanut Butter & Jelly: Blend in 2 tablespoons peanut butter and ½ cup strawberries for that classic PB&J flavor.
- Carrot Cake: Add ¼ cup shredded carrots, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts for a cozy, spiced flavor.
How to Make Blended Overnight Oats
Step 3: Divide the mixture into two glass jars or bowls. Cover the containers with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
My Best Blended Overnight Oats Tips
- Make it in a packable jar or a mason jar: This lets you measure, mix, chill, carry, and eat all in one container.
- Prefer warm oats? While overnight oats are usually eaten cold, you can heat them up. Just microwave for a minute in a microwave-safe jar.
- Use rolled oats, not instant. Quick oats can get too mushy, and steel-cut oats won’t blend as smoothly. Rolled oats give the best creamy texture.
- Adjust the Thickness. If it’s too thick after chilling, just stir in a little more milk before serving. If you like it extra thick, reduce the milk slightly.
Recipe Help & FAQs
Blended overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. This makes it an ideal breakfast meal prep to make on Sunday night for the week.
They might need more time to absorb the liquid. If they have sat overnight in the fridge and are still watery try adding 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, then let them sit for another 30 minutes. If you need a quick fix, blend in a little Greek yogurt to thicken them up.
Make sure you’re blending long enough for a completely smooth texture. If they still feel grainy, let the oats soak in the milk for 10-15 minutes before blending.
