🌀 How to Make Brownie Batter Overnight Oats (Blended Method)

This method gives you a creamy, mousse-like breakfast — no chunks, no stirring, no cooking.

📝 FAQs

Can I use steel cut oats?

No — this blended overnight oats method only works with rolled oats.

Yes! Use sunflower butter or tahini, and choose nut-free plant milk.

Can I use water instead of milk?

You can, but it won’t be as creamy. Stick to oat or almond milk for best texture.

How long does it keep?

Store in the fridge up to 4 days. Great for recipe instructions meal prep fans.

Is this low-calorie?

This is smart-portioned, not no-calorie — but you can reduce nut butter or chocolate chips for a lighter option.

  • For lower sugar, use 1 medjool date instead of syrup
