Blended Overnight Oats
Description
To make Blended Overnight Oats, rolled oats are combined with milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and a mix of fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. The ingredients are blended with a high-speed or immersion blender until smooth and creamy. The mixture is then refrigerated for at least two hours or overnight to thicken and develop texture.
The blending process creates a creamy, pourable oatmeal that differs from traditional soaked overnight oats by providing a smooth uniform consistency. Adding chia seeds thickens the mixture and adds a subtle texture. The natural sweetness comes from honey or maple syrup, balanced by the fresh fruits or vegetables included.
This recipe allows for various flavor customizations such as berry blends, mocha latte, chocolate banana, peanut butter and jelly, or carrot cake by adding specific ingredients like cocoa, coffee, peanut butter, or spices. The overnight chilling allows for convenience and a ready-to-eat nutritious breakfast.
Serve these oats cold from the fridge, optionally thinning with milk or water if desired. They can be stored covered for convenience and topped with extra fruit or nuts at serving.
