Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped dates
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, peanut butter, and maple syrup. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
- Sprinkle cocoa powder into the mixture and stir until completely blended, ensuring no dry powder clumps remain.
- Add chopped dates to the oat mixture, gently folding them in to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into two separate glass jars or airtight containers, dividing the mixture equally.
- Cover the containers and place in the refrigerator to chill and set overnight, or for a minimum of 6-8 hours.
- Before serving, remove the overnight oats from the refrigerator and stir gently to redistribute ingredients.
- Top each serving with chopped peanuts for added crunch and texture.
- Optional: Drizzle additional maple syrup or a small amount of melted dark chocolate on top for extra sweetness.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your vegan Snickers-inspired overnight oats directly from the jar.
Tips
- Choose the Right Oats: For the best texture, use rolled oats instead of quick oats. Rolled oats will give you that perfect chewy consistency.
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup or add a splash of vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost.
- Mix and Match Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Try adding sliced bananas, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the flavor profile.
- Meal Prep for the Week: Make a larger batch and store in the fridge for up to five days. This way, you’ll have a quick, nutritious breakfast ready to go every morning!
- Experiment with Nut Butters: While peanut butter is a classic choice, almond or cashew butter can also work wonderfully for a different twist.
- Chill Time is Key: Allowing the oats to sit overnight (or at least 6-8 hours) is crucial for achieving that creamy, indulgent texture.
- Serve in Style: For a fun presentation, layer the oats with your favorite toppings in a clear jar, showcasing those beautiful ingredients!
- Enjoy Cold or Warm: While these oats are best served chilled, you can warm them up slightly in the microwave if you prefer a cozy breakfast.
