Ingredients
Overnight Oats
- 1 cup of oats
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup
- 1 cup of plant-based milk
- 1 Tablespoon of chia seeds
Salted Caramel Topping
- ½ cup of coconut oil
- ½ cup of maple syrup
- ½ cup of peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Overnight Oats: In a cup, jar, or bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, plant-based milk, and chia seeds. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly. Cover the container and refrigerate it overnight, or for at least 8 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Make the Salted Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil, ½ cup of maple syrup, peanut butter, and salt. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, then stir well until fully blended into a smooth, creamy caramel sauce.
- Serve: Remove the oats from the fridge and give them a good stir. Top with the salted caramel sauce, mix gently if desired, and enjoy your creamy, flavorful Salted Caramel Overnight Oats for a nutritious breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup used in both the oats and caramel.
- Use any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk according to your preference.
- The caramel topping can be stored separately in the fridge and reheated briefly to soften before serving.
- For added texture, consider topping the oats with nuts or sliced fruits right before serving.
- Microwave times may vary, so adjust accordingly to prevent overheating the caramel mixture.
