If you’ve spent any time on this site you know that I do a lot of recipes with oats. From my various oatmeal recipes to Oat Bake and more. It’s easily the basis of most of my breakfasts and for good reason - it’s delicious and versatile! Here I’ve got a Blended Cocoa Oats Recipe!
The general idea here is that you take overnight oats and you blend them. Simple, right? The texture is really delightful. If you’re in a hurry you could skip soaking them overnight but it adds a fair amount of creaminess to the texture - so when you can plan ahead I highly recommend it.
This recipe is a great way to start off your day - it’s packed with protein and high in fibre, potassium, iron and calcium. I’ve given you a base below but you can take that and do whatever you want with it. Swap out with different fruit or spices or toppings - it really is a customizable dish. And if you want to batch prep it you can make enough for the entire week ahead.
This is ideal for summer weather and has a similar consistency to a frosty milkshake, especially with the cocoa. So take this Blended Cocoa Oats Recipe and try old in a new way.
This Blended Cocoa Oats Recipe will have you trying oats for breakfast in an entirely new way. Customize it to your liking!
Add the oats, milk, chia, and cocoa to a bowl or container. Stir and leave in fridge overnight.
In the morning take the mixture and blend in a small blender. Pour into a bowl and top with the remaining ingredients (and whatever else you want to top on). Smash it into your face!
