Ingredients
Overnight Oats
-
½ cup quick oats
-
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup
-
½ tablespoon peanut butter (or any nut butter)
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
-
1 tablespoon Let's Do Organic Toasted Coconut Flakes
-
1 tablespoon chocolate date syrup
-
1 tablespoon peanut butter
-
1 Samoas cookie (optional but fun!)
Instructions
1. Make the overnight oats
In a jar or small bowl, combine the oats, coconut milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
2. Refrigerate overnight
Cover and place the mixture in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours. The oats will soften and absorb the liquid, creating a creamy texture.
3. Add toppings and enjoy
In the morning, sprinkle a layer of toasted coconut flakes over the oats. Drizzle with peanut butter and chocolate date syrup for that classic Samoas-inspired flavor.
If you really want to take it over the top, garnish with a homemade Samoas cookie.
Tips for the Best Overnight Oats
-
Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture.
-
If you like thicker oats, add an extra spoonful of oats before refrigerating.
-
For extra protein, stir in a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
-
Make it dessert-style by adding a few dark chocolate chips on top.
