It seems I have a healthy (unhealthy) obsession with oats. Baked, overnight, cookies, oat flour- I love oats in any form. The newest oat form to join the family is- blended overnight oats. Now what is blended oats you might ask?

Essentially it’s overnight oats just blended into a smoother consistency. So you are still getting all the nutrients and flavour from your regular overnight oats it’s just more fun (and also easier/ quicker- read below for why)!

Why would I want to blend my oats?

The answer to that question is: the texture. By blending oats instead of a lumpy texture you get a nice smooth, almost batter-like consistency (similar to a thick smoothie bowl) and honestly I loved them. It was like eating cake batter for breakfast (and who doesn’t want to do that?). I really think these might be a new staple in my morning breakfast rotation. They are the perfect oatmeal recipe for anyone who doesn’t like oats!

Not only do these blended overnight oats taste like dessert, they also are packed with fiber, whole grains, and protein making them the perfect addition to your busy weekday mornings.

The other reason that blended overnight oats may be superior to normal overnight oats is the fact that you don’t technically need to let them sit overnight. So they are PERFECT for last minute breakfasts.

Why you will love  blended oats…
