Not only that, this blended oatmeal bowl takes less than 3 minutes to cook and is packed with tons of protein and nutrients. Did I mention is also tastes like dessert!
Blended Oatmeal Ingredients
- Rolled oats: because you can’t make oatmeal without rolled oats! If you’re gluten-free feel free to use GF Rolled oats instead of regular.
- Protein powder: I recommend adding in protein powder to this vegan porridge recipe as it now only adds in extra protein, but it also adds in creaminess. However, if you don’t have protein powder, feel free to omit it entirely.
- Almond Flour: It might seems strange, but the almond flour helps make the blended oatmeal fluffy – plus it adds extra protein.
- Cashew milk: I recommend using cashew milk to get the best creamy oatmeal. But any higher fat plant milk, such as soy, macadamia or oat milk will work for the best creamy results. You can even use water if you would like to keep the calories down, although the oatmeal won’t be as creamy.
- Salt and Vanilla: salt and vanilla in any food is essential. The salt helps bring out the flavors in the oatmeal and boost the natural oatmeal flavor.
Tips for Perfect Blended Oatmeal
Get out your pencil and a notepad, because I’m about to drop all my tips to making perfect blended oatmeal!
- Grind the oats well. This is super important to getting that creamy and ultra fine pudding texture in your oatmeal. I recommend using a spice grinder to grind the oats, but a blender or NutriBullet will work.
- Constantly stir the oats. While you’re cooking the oatmeal, make sure to constantly stir the oatmeal, otherwise it’ll quickly begin to clump and become lumpy.
- Low heat. Trust me, low heat is the way to go when making blended oatmeal. Otherwise they cook too quickly and begin to burn at the bottom.

Why this Oatmeal Bowl is Healthy
The vegan blended oatmeal recipe is packed with oats (duh), protein powder, and cashew milk, all of which have been linked to a host of benefits. I’ll leave a few benefits of each of these ingredients down below:
- Rolled oats: Have been linked to lowering blood sugar levels and lowering risk of heart disease. Oatmeal is also rich in antioxidants and avenanthramides. Avenanthramides have been shown to help lower blood pressure by producing nutria oxide which helps dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow. Additionally, avenanthramides and antioxidants. are also anti-inflammatory. Furthermore, oatmeal also contains a type of soluble fiber called beta-glucan that can increase growth of good bacteria in the gut!
- Cashew milk/Cashews: Besides being a great source of healthy fats, cashews contain a host of minerals as vitamins. Such as copper, magnesium, manganese, zinc, phosphorus and selenium.
This bowl also has a ton of other nutrients, vitamins and minerals from the other ingredients like sunflower butter and toppings. Not to mention the healthy fats and fiber that are in these ingredients that help metabolize the sugars in this bowl. Bottom line, this blended oatmeal bowl is the best thing you can start your day with! Balanced, nutritious and delicious!

Description
Introducing the best creamy blended oatmeal. Basically your morning oatmeal bowl, just creamier, tastier and so much more flavorful. Plus, it feels like you’re eating pudding!
Ingredients
Oatmeal
- ½ cup Rolled oats
- 2 tbsp Almond flour
- 2 tbsp Vanilla protein powder ((optional))
- 1 cup Cashew milk + ½ cup water
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract ((the more the better()
- ⅛ tsp Kosher salt
- 5–6 drops liquid Stevia to sweeten ((or any sweetener of choice, like date syrup, honey, maple syrup, etc.) )
Toppings
- 1 tbsp Sunflower Butter
- 1 tbsp Date syrup
- Dark Chocolate ((Hu Chocolate & Evolved Chocolate are both great brands))
Instructions
- Begin by adding in the rolled oats into a spice grinder or blender blend until it becomes a fine flour. Add the ground oats into a pot along with the rest of the oatmeal ingredients – protein powder, almond flour, cashew milk and water, salt, vanilla and stevia.
- Turn the stove on medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. This process will take no longer than 3 minutes, as the ground oats cook very fast.
- When the oatmeal is done, pour it out into your bowl and top with sunflower butter, date syrup and a square of sugar-free dark chocolate.
Can this be made overnight? Skip the almond flour?
Hi Margaret! While I haven’t tried it, I’m positive that it’ll work as overnight oats. Simply skip cooking the oats and let them rest in the fridge overnight. Also you can omit the almond flour, but I like to add it as it adds flavor and a little bit of fluff to the oats. 🙂
I have always been of oatmeal, but this recipe is amazing! So creamy and delicious. Thank you for all your recipes. I haven’t been disappointed in anything I’ve tried.
Omg so happy to hear that! Thank you so much Frankie! 🙂
