Recipe Card

Oat Layer

ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (or quick oats)
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Caramel Layer

ingredients

  • 6 pitted Medjool dates
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Peanut Layer

ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts

Chocolate Layer

ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Prepare the Oat Layer

Method

  • Step 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine and let it sit while you prepare the other ingredients.

Make the Date Caramel Layer

  • Step 1

    Soak the pitted medjool dates in hot water for 10-15 minutes until softened. Drain the water, then blend the soaked dates with almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Prepare the Peanut Layer

  • Step 1

    Roughly chop the roasted peanuts and set them aside for layering.

Assemble the Layers

  • Step 1

    In each jar, add the oat mixture as the first layer. Top with a spoonful of date caramel, followed by a sprinkle of chopped peanuts. Repeat the layers: oats, date caramel, and peanuts, finishing with a final layer of oats at the top.

Make the Chocolate Shell

  • Step 1

    In a small heatproof bowl, melt the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil together. This can be done in the microwave (in 20-second intervals, stirring between) or over a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top layer of oats, ensuring it completely covers the surface.

Chill Overnight

  • Step 1

    Place the jars in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours). During this time, the oats will absorb the liquid and soften, while the chocolate shell will harden.

Serve the Next Morning

  • Step 1

    The oats will be soft and creamy, with a firm chocolate shell on top. Enjoy straight from the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer a softer chocolate shell.

  • Step 2

    For added flavor, try using different types of nut butter in the peanut layer.

  • Step 3

    Feel free to customize the toppings with additional nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of sea salt.
