Blended Overnight Oats Ingredients
Gather your ingredients!
Oats
You want to use rolled oats, also known as old fashioned oats, for this recipe. Quick oats give a more gummy texture when blended and are more easy to over-process.
Plant Based Milk
Any plant-based milk will work for this recipe, but we like oat for a creamier texture.
Apples/Applesauce
We use unsweetened applesauce directly in the blender and then top with your favorite diced or slice apple variety.
*Note: If you only have sweetened applesauce, you will want to omit/reduce the amount of maple syrup you use.
Chia Seeds
This is adding some additional protein to the dish. You have the option to blend in or leave whole to soak in the mixture.
Additional Ingredients
We’re also using cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla and maple syrup for flavor add ins.

I’ve struggled with the texture of overnight oats or chia seed pudding. Not with this recipe, the blended oats were delicious and an easy morning. I added the chia seeds whole once the oats were blended and the next morning it was delicious and filling.
Glad you loved it Kathryn. What would you do differently to give it 5 stars?

Thank you so much! We truly appreciate you giving the recipe a try!
This was delicious! A little tip if you don’t have ready-made applesauce on hand: core and peel an apple, then cut into chunk. Place on a plate in the microwave and heat for 1 minute at a time, checking how soft it is with a fork each time. Put into a food processor with a few drops of lemon juice and blend until pureed. Voilà! Applesauce. Just cool it before adding to the rest of the ingredients.
Thanks for sharing Marie!

We hope you love them even more next time!
