Brownie Batter Blended Oatmeal

A rich, creamy breakfast with gluten-free oats, chia seeds, almond butter, dates and 87.5% dark chocolate.

Forget bland breakfasts. This brownie batter blended oatmeal has a smooth, pudding-like texture and a deep chocolate flavour that feels indulgent while still offering the substance of oats, seeds, nut butter and real cacao.

Gluten-free ingredients Prepare in five minutes Chill for one hour or overnight Made with 87.5% dark chocolate

Ingredients

A short list of breakfast ingredients blended into a rich, spoonable chocolate oatmeal.

For the Blended Oatmeal

  • ⅓ cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp 80Noir Ultra 87.5% Dark Chocolate , finely shaved or gently melted
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ tbsp almond butter
  • ¾ cup almond milk, or milk of choice
  • 2 soft pitted dates

Optional Toppings

  • Cacao nibs
  • Chopped almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts
  • Fresh berries
  • Extra almond butter
  • Shaved 87.5% dark chocolate
  • A small spoonful of Greek or coconut yoghurt
Texture tip: For a thicker, mousse-like breakfast, begin with slightly less milk. Add another splash after chilling if the mixture becomes too firm.

Method

Blend until completely smooth, then leave the oats and chia seeds to create their creamy, pudding-like texture.

  1. Add the gluten-free oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, almond butter, almond milk and pitted dates to a blender.
  2. Add the shaved or gently melted 87.5% dark chocolate.
  3. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
  4. Check the consistency. Add a small splash of milk if you prefer a looser oatmeal, then blend again briefly.
  5. Pour the mixture into a breakfast jar, glass or bowl.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or leave overnight for a thicker, more developed texture.
  7. Before serving, stir well and add your chosen toppings.
  8. Enjoy chilled, or allow it to stand at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer finish.
Make-ahead tip: Prepare the oatmeal the night before and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Add nuts, cacao nibs and berries immediately before serving so they retain their texture.

Why It Makes A More Satisfying Breakfast

Oats, chia, protein powder, nut butter and dark chocolate create a breakfast with more texture and substance than a sweetened cereal or chocolate-flavoured snack alone.

Gluten-Free Oats

Oats provide carbohydrate and fibre, creating the foundation of a filling breakfast with a naturally creamy texture.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds absorb liquid as the oatmeal chills, adding fibre, texture and naturally occurring plant-based fats.

Protein & Almond Butter

Protein powder and almond butter add richness and help make the blended oatmeal feel more substantial and complete.

87.5% Dark Chocolate

Ultra-dark chocolate brings depth, complexity and naturally occurring cocoa polyphenols with less sugar than conventional milk chocolate.

A note on everyday wellbeing: A balanced breakfast cannot guarantee a particular energy or mood outcome, but including fibre, protein, fats and carbohydrate may help create a more satisfying start than a highly sweetened breakfast eaten on its own.

The Brownie Batter Texture

Smooth, dark and spoonable, with the comforting flavour of brownie batter and the ease of an overnight breakfast.

Smooth & Creamy

Blending breaks down the oats and chia seeds, creating a uniform pudding-like texture rather than a traditional bowl of porridge.

Deeply Chocolatey

Cocoa powder, chocolate protein and 87.5% dark chocolate build several layers of cacao flavour without relying on excessive sweetness.

Serving Suggestions

Keep it simple, or turn it into a more generous breakfast with fruit, yoghurt and contrasting texture.

Fresh Berry Finish

Add strawberries, raspberries or blueberries for freshness and a naturally bright contrast to the darker cacao.

Extra Texture

Finish with cacao nibs, chopped nuts, toasted coconut or a few extra pieces of dark chocolate.

More Creaminess

Add a spoonful of Greek yoghurt, coconut yoghurt or a little extra almond milk immediately before serving.

Prepare Ahead

Blend the night before for an easy breakfast when mornings are busy or you want one less decision to make.

The Final Serve

Gluten-free oats, dates, almond butter, chia and ultra-dark chocolate come together in a smooth breakfast that tastes like brownie batter but is prepared with the ingredients of a more considered morning meal.
