Can I use a food processor instead of a blender?u003cbr/u003e

A blender really is the best option for this recipe because you want a smooth creamy oats. That said, if you don't mind some texture, you could use a food processor in a pinch.

Do oats lose fiber when blended?u003cbr/u003e

No. The nutrition profile remains the same for blended and non blended overnight oats.

Instructions

For Blended Oats:

Add all blended oat ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and there are no bits of oats visible.
Divide oat mixture evenly between 8 jars or containers. Add lids and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.

OPTIONAL "Chocolate Frosting" Topping

Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring between. Continue until chocolate is smooth.
Add yogurt to the melted chocolate, stir until smooth.
Top each prepared jar of blended oats with the frosting, cover with lid and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours prior to serving. Just before eating, give the oat jars a good stir. The oats settle to the bottom and the liquid rises to the top.

Notes

To test this recipe, I used whole milk, but use what you like and have on hand. Plant-based milks can be substituted at a 1:1 ratio.

Blended oats will stay fresh for 4-days in an airtight container when refrigerated.

Nutrition information was calculated using whole milk and without the "chocolate frosting" topping.
