These blended overnight oats taste like an indulgent dessert but they are actually filled with nutritious & ingredients! Great for breakfast or a snack.

Instructions
Notes
Oats: if you don't have oat flour, you can blend oats to create your own oat flour. For this recipe, blend just over ¼ cup of oats to get ¼ cup of oat flour.
Maple Syrup: if you are using already sweetener yogurt, or you want less sugar, you can leave out the maple syrup.
Yogurt: how much yogurt you need will greatly vary depending on how thick the yogurt you use is. If you use a really thick yogurt, you will need closer to ½ cup. If you are using really runny yogurt, you will need more like ¼ cup.
Milk: if you want thicker and creamier oats, leave the milk out. If you want a runnier consistency, add a tiny bit of dairy-free milk until you are happy with the consistency.
Directions
In a bowl, start by mashing the banana with a fork.
Then add the oat flour, protein, cacao, peanut butter, chia seeds, maple, yogurt, milk, vanilla, and salt.
Combine them well using a fork or spoon.
You can transfer the oats to another smaller bowl, or eat them from the same bowl. I like to mix the ingredients in a larger bowl because I make a mess and then transfer the oats to a smaller bowl that's better suited for eating them.
To make the chocolate glaze, mix the plant-based yogurt and melted chocolate together and spread on top of the blended oats.
I also added dollops of creamy peanut butter and swirled them around to create a marble pattern, but that is just for decoration and totally optional.
