Ingredients for Blended Overnight Oats

The ingredients for the base of these blended overnight oats recipes are staple ingredients that you probably already have on hand (we’re not just saying that 😂).

Then, add in the ingredients for each of the flavor combinations to make peanut butter, strawberry, fudgey, or coconut overnight oats — or heck, whip up a batch of all 4 at once!

For the base

This super simple base recipe for blended overnight oats tastes great on its own, or combined it with any of our 4 flavor combinations below for a burst of flavor. You need:

• Oats: We’ve tested this recipe with both rolled oats and quick-cooking oats and they both work great. 
• Chia seeds: Chia seeds are our secret weapon for thick blended overnight oats. As chia seeds sit in liquid, they expand and become gelatinous. DO NOT skip the chia!
• Maple syrup: This is our preferred all-natural sweetener, but you can also use honey, agave or even brown sugar.
• Almond milk: Feel free to use any kind of milk with this recipe. We prefer unsweetened almond milk, but cow, soy, oat, etc. work, too!
• Greek yogurt: Not only does Greek yogurt add protein, but it will make your oats super creamy. Feel free to use a plant-based yogurt if you’re looking to keep things vegan.

For the Peanut Butter

All you need to add to the base recipe is creamy peanut butter, and just like that you’ve got the perfect peanut butter blended overnight oats ready to enjoy:

• All natural, creamy peanut butter

For the Fudgey

Fudgey and super chocolate-y, this flavor combination is basically dessert for breakfast:

• Cocoa powder 
• Chocolate chips 
• Almond milk
• Maple syrup

For the Strawberry

Sliced strawberries and maple syrup blend together for a delish combination that honestly rivals strawberry cheesecake:

for the Coconut

This coconut flavor combination tastes like coconut cream pie for breakfast 😀

• Replace almond milk with coconut milk 
• Vanilla extract
• Unsweetened shredded coconut 
• Maple syrup
