What’s the difference between blended oats and overnight oats?
Blended oats are overnight oats that have been blitzed into a smooth, thick, almost cake-like batter. They are the same ingredients, just made more decadent by blending them into a dense, oat pudding. They’re a bit like a very creamy, thick smoothie. I have tried them in so many different variations now and you’d be amazed how many different flavor combinations there are. I’ve tried a blueberry version with dark chocolate, Strawberry Blended Oats, Cookie Dough Oats and of course, my viral Chocolate Blended Oats which has had over 4 million views on TikTok. But with oats, the possibilities are endless! They really are a blank canvas for flavor.
Now, with all this said, I still enjoy regular overnight oats too. They have a chewier, more textured consistency that is still very tasty. My favorite regular overnight oats recipes are my tart yet creamy Apple Pie Oats or the dense Peanut Butter & Banana Oats.
Key ingredients
Mango: Fresh or frozen diced mango works; part is blended into the oats and part is layered into the jars.
Banana: Use a ripe small banana for sweetness and creaminess.
Instructions
Here’s how to make blended Mango Overnight Oats:
Step One: Combine rolled oats, milk, frozen mango, ripe banana, natural yogurt, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blitz until the mixture is smooth and creamy. It will be runny initially but it will thicken up as it sets.
Step Two: Add the extra mango chunks to the bottom of individual jars or containers. Pour the blended oats mixture over the top.
Step Three: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate. Stir in the coconut oil until well combined and smooth. Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the top of each jar of blended oats, spreading it evenly to form a thin layer.
Step Four: Place the jars in the refrigerator overnight or for a minimum of 90 minutes to allow the oats to thicken and the topping to set.
Storage
Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.

amazing!! not overly sweet or overwhelming or too sticky/thick. just perfectly balenced with a rounded flavor that isn’t overwhelming. i’m usually not too fond of fruit-flavored oatmeals but this was great, and I always make a few on the weekend to meal-prep my breakfast for the week. 10/10
