Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 1-2 tbsp chia seeds (depending on preferred thickness)
- 1/2 cup oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 2/3 cup dairy-free milk (such as almond, oat, or soy milk)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Ganache
- 1 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 1/2 tbsp canned coconut milk
- 8 g dairy-free chocolate (about 1/2 tbsp chopped or chips)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt (optional)
- A few drops of stevia (optional, to sweeten)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oats Mixture: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth and transfer it into a glass jar. Add the chia seeds, oats, and dairy-free milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly. Seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Make the Ganache: In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, canned coconut milk, and dairy-free chocolate. Melt these ingredients together using a double boiler or by microwaving for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth and fully mixed. Remove from heat, then add the vanilla extract and pinch of salt if using, stirring to incorporate.
- Combine and Chill: Pour the warm chocolate peanut butter ganache over the oats mixture in the jar. Seal the jar again and return it to the refrigerator. Let it chill overnight or for at least 2 hours to develop flavor and allow textures to meld.
- Serve: Optionally, top with some peanuts or your favorite nuts before serving for added crunch and flavor. Enjoy your ready-to-eat, delicious, and nutritious chocolate peanut butter overnight oats cold straight from the fridge.
Notes
- You can use any plant-based milk you prefer; almond, oat, soy, or cashew milk work well.
- Adjust chia seed quantity between 1 and 2 tablespoons depending on how thick you like your oats.
- For a sweeter oatmeal, add a few drops of stevia or your preferred sweetener.
- Ensure the oats used are gluten-free if you have gluten sensitivities.
- If you don’t have canned coconut milk, full-fat coconut milk in a carton can be used but may slightly alter the texture.
- For added texture, top with chopped peanuts or your favorite nuts before serving.
