METHOD
Make the Overnight Oats:
In a bowl or jar, combine oats, chia seeds, salt, and chopped peanuts. Add milk, yogurt, and peanut butter, and mix until combined. Transfer to a jar or a glass and refrigerate for one hour.
Make the “Caramel”:
Place 2 pitted dates into a bowl, cover with hot water and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the dates with one tablespoon of the soaking water into a blender, add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, and blend until smooth and looks like caramel.
Make the Chocolate Layer:
Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of milk. Microwave for 15 seconds. Then stir until melted and smooth.
Assemble and Refrigerate:
Spread the “caramel” over the oats. Pour the chocolate layer over the caramel and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Serve:
Before serving, sprinkle some chopped peanuts
