Description
These Chocolate Blended Overnight Oats are an easy healthy breakfast that requires only 5 minutes to prep.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Blended Oats:
- 4 cups milk *
- 3 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For The "Chocolate Frosting"
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons whole-milk vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
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.
