High Protein Blended Overnight Oats

This recipe prepares a creamy, nutrient-dense version of overnight oats by blending rolled oats together with coconut milk, dairy-free milk, almond butter, maple syrup, collagen powder, and cinnamon. The ingredients are combined in a blender until a uniform texture is achieved, with the oats and collagen added towards the end to ensure even mixing without clumping.

The blended mixture is portioned into a jar and refrigerated for at least four hours or overnight. This chilling time allows the oats to absorb liquids, softening to a creamy texture while the collagen powder adds protein content. The cinnamon provides a warm, subtle spice, and the maple syrup sweetens the mixture naturally. Using coconut milk from the can, especially the thicker cream part, contributes to a richer texture.

After the resting period, the oats can be eaten as is or topped with nuts, fruit, or other flavor additions. Blending controls the smoothness; longer blending results in a smoother pudding-like consistency, while less blending leaves some texture for chewing. The recipe makes a large single serving or two smaller portions, suited for a healthy breakfast or snack option providing sustained energy.
