Snickers Inspired Overnight Oats

Breakfast

Dessert for breakfast? Yes, please! These fiber-rich Snickers-inspired overnight oats have all the features of the famous candy bar—crunchy peanuts, rich chocolate and a buttery caramel drizzle over tender and tangy oats. Old-fashioned rolled oats work best here, as they keep their texture as they sit. While you may be surprised by our use of chocolate chips and caramel sauce in a breakfast recipe, we use a minimal amount of each to mimic the Snickers flavor while still keeping the added sugar to 9 grams per serving—less than many sweetened cereals and fruit-flavored yogurts.

Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
1/4 cup well-stirred crunchy natural peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons unrefined coconut oil
7 tablespoons finely chopped unsalted roasted peanuts, divided
1 tablespoon caramel sauce, divided
1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Description

Whisk oats, almond milk, yogurt, peanut butter and vanilla together in a medium bowl. Refrigerate, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 45 seconds; stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and incorporated into the oil.
Divide the oat mixture among 4 (8-ounce) jars (about 1 cup per jar). Divide 6 tablespoons peanuts among the jars (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each). Spoon 2 1/4 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture over the peanuts in each jar, tilting to cover the entire surface. Refrigerate, uncovered, until the chocolate is just set, about 10 minutes. Drizzle each with 3/4 teaspoon caramel sauce; sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon peanuts. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Refrigerate, uncovered, until the oat mixture has thickened and the chocolate is fully set, at least 12 hours.
