Creamy Blended Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Breakfast is a dream with these ultra-luxurious creamy blended chocolate peanut butter overnight oats. So decadent and delicious you'll forget how healthy they are!
Equipment
- cutting board
- sharp knife
- high-speed blender
- medium bowl or individual serving containers
Ingredients
Overnight oats ingredients
- 1½ cups unsweetened soy milk or other nondairy milk
- 1 cup old-fashioned (rolled) oats
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 to 2 Medjool dates pitted and roughly chopped (I prefer 2, but start with 1 if you're especially mindful of sugar intake)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings (optional)
- banana slices
- shredded coconut
- crushed peanuts
- chocolate chips (check label to make sure they are nondairy)
- cacao nibs
- peanut butter
Instructions
- Add all of the overnight oats ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Depending on the type of blender you have, you may still see specks of oats in the mixture after blending. This is totally fine.
- Taste and adjust for flavor, if desired.
- Pour the contents of the blender into a medium bowl or individual serving containers.
- Cover the bowl (or serving containers) and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, serve individual portions in bowls or glasses. Decorate with your favorite toppings, such as shredded coconut, banana slices, crushed peanuts, chocolate chips, cacao nibs, and/or a swirl of peanut butter.
Notes
- Any nondairy milk may be substituted for the soy milk.
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup may be substituted for the Medjool dates.
- These overnight oats will keep well in the fridge for about 4 days.
