Make them Blended Overnight Oats!
If you love a smooth and creamy overnight oats recipe, then blended overnight oats are for you.
- Add all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high for about a minute. This will pulverize the oats and make them super creamy.
- Transfer the overnight oats into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, you can eat as-is, or add a splash of milk to thin things out a bit.

Creamy chocolate overnight oats sound delicious! I love how easy overnight oats are to make, and the chocolate twist is perfect. Can’t wait to try this recipe for a quick and yummy breakfast.
This looks so good and easy to make! I’m always looking for new breakfast ideas, and this is perfect. I’m going to try this week, thanks!
It was delicious! I didn’t add any yogurt and use honey over vanilla. It was like a dessert for breakfast!
(there’s 69 reviews, and I’m basically messing it up, but whatever)
Hello!
I halved the recipe so I could make one for myself(the card says it serves two.) I halved everything else, but then forgot to halve the yogurt and mixed it in. Oops! I only noticed that is was a bit liquid-y after I had mixed it in. Will it still turn out well?
Anyways, it was quick and easy to prepare. I’m doing it so I can have a quick breakfast before school, so can I reheat it? It’ s awfully cold where I live.
This is such a great recipe. I use non-dairy yogurt, and I love to add a half teaspoon of cinnamon and fresh blueberries to top it off. So yummy!
These are our go-to overnight oats recipe. Actually, all of yours are and these of course are the kid’s favroite! Perfect!
Omg! Since the cocoa wasn’t actually cooked I was skeptical whether it’d mix well or not. But wow this tastes sooo good. I added half a tablespoon of Nutella as an additional treat. Thank you!
Love the Nutella add!
Prepared this last night and just ate it. Really yummy. I was so tempted to lick the bowl clean! Great recipe. Thanks!
Do you use plain greek yoghurt or sweetened?
Either work! We usually use plain.
Love this recipe! Adding banana slices or strawberries in the morning is delish!
