Description

This Delicious Blended Strawberry Oats with a Chocolate Twist is a creamy and wholesome breakfast or snack option that combines the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries with the rich flavor of dark chocolate. It’s effortlessly prepared by blending oats with fresh ingredients and topped with a luscious chocolate layer, then chilled to perfection. This recipe is versatile and can be customized with various milk and yogurt alternatives to suit dietary preferences.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rolled Oats (Substitute with quick oats for a smoother blend.)
  • 1 cup Milk of Choice (Consider almond, soy, or oat milk for vegan option.)
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries (Can swap with any berries or bananas.)
  • 1 cup Thick Natural Yogurt (Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt as vegan alternative.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Optional but enhances depth.)
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (Adjust to taste with agave or stevia as alternatives.)
  • 1 pinch Salt (Balances sweetness.)

Chocolate Topping

  • 100 grams Dark Chocolate (Use vegan chocolate for plant-based option.)
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (Omit for a richer shell.)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oat mixture: Combine rolled oats, milk of choice, fresh strawberries, thick natural yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the strawberries and oats are fully incorporated.
  2. Transfer to serving containers: Pour the blended oat mixture evenly into bowls, jars, or ramekins, creating the base layer for the dish.
  3. Melt the chocolate topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate together with the coconut oil in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring in between until fully smooth and combined.
  4. Add the chocolate layer: Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the top of each oat mixture serving, creating a glossy chocolate layer that will harden upon chilling.
  5. Chill to set: Place the containers in the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the chocolate topping to harden.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled and set, serve the blended strawberry oats cold as a refreshing, nutritious breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for a smoother, less textured blend if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, substitute milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use vegan dark chocolate.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup or using stevia/agave as alternatives.
  • The coconut oil in the chocolate topping can be omitted for a thicker, richer chocolate layer but it helps create a smooth pourable consistency.
  • Chilling overnight enhances the texture and flavor integration.
