Blended Overnight Oats Recipe: The Creamiest Breakfast Oats!
Why blend overnight oats? Because you get the creamiest oats that taste like you’re eating cookie dough for breakfast! Don’t get me wrong, I love my classic overnight oats for breakfast. But there’s just something different and SO good about this blended overnight oats recipe!
They’re creamy and sweet and have the perfect texture. You can add any mix-ins or toppings you want! I love chocolate chips and peanut butter or almond butter for a cookie dough flavor, but these oats could also be delicious with fresh strawberries, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, and so much more. Easily make them vegan and adjust the sweetness to taste!

Ingredients You’ll Need
Rolled Oats – Old-fashioned oats (rolled oats) are the best type for overnight oats.
Almond Milk – Any type of plant-based milk or regular milk works great! Soy milk, oat milk, and even coconut milk are all delicious.
Greek Yogurt – Easily make this recipe vegan by using a plant-based thick yogurt!
Maple Syrup – Adjust the amount to taste. This sweetens the oats!
Vanilla Protein Powder – This is my favorite type of protein powder for overnight oats. Feel free to adjust the amount to your own nutritional needs or you can even omit it completely!

My Favorite Jars for Overnight Oats
I get so many questions about my overnight oats jars! Here are a few of my favorites:
- These Vintage Glass Coffee Mugs with Lids are perfect for overnight oats! They’re so pretty, too.
- If you’re storing a big batch of these in the fridge, then these Glass Overnight Oats Containers come with a lid and a spoon.
- You can’t go wrong with simple mason jars and airtight lids especially if you’re planning on storing these long-term in the freezer!
Storing/Meal Prepping Oats
To meal prep oats, make a big batch of this recipe and pour it into jars with airtight lids. If you’re using fresh fruit as a topping, it’s best to wait until you’re ready to eat them to add the toppings! Otherwise, you can go ahead and add toppings/mix-ins.
These Blended Overnight Oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days! They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw them in the fridge the night before. In the morning, add milk to adjust the thickness (if necessary), and add any toppings you want!

I want to try these. I like warm oatmeal. Can these overnight oats be microwaved? How long?
Thanks!Reply
Christine McMichael replied:
Yes they can! I would add a little bit of extra milk or water before heating, then warm them in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds, stirring everything 15-20 seconds.
