Description
Blended overnight oats are ultra-creamy, smooth, and packed with fiber and protein, making them the perfect make-ahead breakfast. Unlike traditional overnight oats, blending creates a pudding-like texture that is easy to digest and incredibly satisfying. This recipe is completely customizable, so you can enjoy different flavors every morning while sticking to a nutritious and delicious meal plan.
Ingredients
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup milk of choice (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy)
½ banana (for natural sweetness)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (for thickness and fiber)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
Toppings (Optional):
Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, banana slices)
Granola or chopped nuts
Nut butter drizzle (almond, peanut, or cashew)
Coconut flakes or cacao nibs
Instructions
1-Prepare the Ingredients
Add the oats, milk, banana, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to a blender or mixing jar.
2-Refrigerate Overnight
Stir well and cover the mixture, placing it in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
3-Blend Until Smooth
In the morning, blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
4-Serve & Add Toppings
Pour the blended oats into a bowl or jar and add your favorite toppings like fruit, nuts, or granola.
📌 Pro Tip: If you prefer a thick consistency, use less liquid or add extra chia seeds.
Notes
✔️ For a thicker pudding, add one extra tablespoon of chia seeds and let it sit overnight.
✔️ For extra creaminess, use coconut milk or blend in Greek yogurt.
✔️ Want a sweeter pudding? Add more honey, maple syrup, or a mashed banana.
✔️ Make it kid-friendly by layering with granola or blending it completely smooth.
