Ingredients
  

Caramel Layer

  • 3 ½ tablespoons soy milk or any milk alternative
  • 2 Medjool dates pitted and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter

Oat Layer

  • ½ cup quick oats
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • ¼ cup high-protein plant-based yogurt
  • ½ ounce chocolate protein powder
  • 1 cup soy milk or any milk alternative

Chocolate Layer

  • ¾ ounce dark chocolate bittersweet
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil optional, for a smoother texture
  • 2-3 salted peanuts for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the caramel layer: Warm the soy milk in a microwave for 30 seconds or heat in a small saucepan until steaming.
  • Add the chopped dates and peanut butter to a bowl. Pour the hot soy milk over the top and let it sit for 10-15 minutes so the dates soften.
  • Mix the oat base: In a separate jar or bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, yogurt, protein powder, and soy milk. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  • Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe container. Heat in 20-second intervals on medium power, stirring between each round, until smooth and melted.
  • Once the dates have softened, mash them with a fork along with the peanut butter and milk until you get a thick, paste-like consistency.
  • Assemble the oats: Spread the caramel mixture over the oat base, then drizzle the melted chocolate on top. Sprinkle with salted peanuts for garnish.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight. Enjoy the next morning!

Notes

  • If using rolled oats, blend them in a food processor for a finer texture.
  • To omit protein powder, substitute with extra oats or mashed banana for added fiber. You can also add another tablespoon of high-protein plant-based yogurt to maintain the protein boost.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure your oats are certified gluten-free.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Not freezer-friendly.
