Description
A delicious and nutritious Salted Caramel Overnight Oats recipe combining creamy Greek yogurt, chia seeds, protein powder, and natural sweetness from medjool dates, topped with optional peanut butter caramel for a perfect make-ahead breakfast that is rich in flavor and texture.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ⅓ cup oats (rolled or minute oats)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp cacao nibs
- Pinch of sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla)
- ½ cup milk
- 1-2 large medjool dates (seed removed)
Toppings (Optional)
- 1 tbsp Peanut butter caramel
- Additional cacao nibs
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a 10 oz glass jar, add the oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, and cacao nibs. Mix them together thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
- Blend wet ingredients: Using a high-powered blender, blend the Greek yogurt, milk, pitted medjool dates, and a pinch of sea salt until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Mix wet and dry: Pour the blended date milk mixture into the jar with the dry ingredients and whisk together until all components are fully incorporated.
- Add toppings and chill: Optionally, top the mixture with peanut butter caramel sauce and additional cacao nibs. Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy texture.
Notes
- Use rolled oats or quick oats based on your texture preference.
- Medjool dates add natural sweetness; adjust quantity for taste.
- Peanut butter caramel topping is optional but adds rich flavor.
- The overnight chill time helps the oats soften and flavors meld.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 days for convenience.
