Description

This Snickers Overnight Oats recipe offers a delicious and nutritious vegan twist on the classic candy bar. Combining creamy oats soaked overnight with peanut butter, cocoa, and chopped peanuts, it delivers all the flavors you love in a wholesome breakfast. Ready to eat straight from the fridge, it’s perfect for busy mornings and peanut butter lovers seeking a sweet, protein-packed start.


Ingredients

Oat Base

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins & Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (unsalted)
  • Optional: a pinch of salt
  • Optional: vegan chocolate chips or chopped vegan chocolate bar (for extra chocolatey touch)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl or jar, add the oats, almond milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the cocoa powder is evenly distributed.
  2. Add Peanut Butter: Swirl in the natural peanut butter to the oat mixture, mixing gently to create a marbled effect or combine completely, depending on texture preference.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.
  4. Serve and Top: The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it. Transfer to serving bowls or jars, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top, and add vegan chocolate chips or chopped chocolate if desired.

Notes

  • For creamier oats, use quick oats instead of rolled oats, but texture will be softer.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with agave nectar or date syrup for sweetness.
  • Use unsweetened plant-based milk to keep sugar content low.
  • Make a larger batch and store in individual jars for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
