SNICKERS CHIA OVERNIGHT OATS

This post is about two of my favorite foods: chia pudding + overnight oats. I actually couldn’t decide which one I love the most, so a combination felt just right. Especially as this specific combination also has the perfect vegan caramel sauce, crunchy peanuts AND chocolate. With a pack like this, it is most convenient to call this Snickers chia overnight oats as I assume the word snickers brings some caramell-y peanut-y and chocolate-y images in mind. This snack is a whole lotta healthier than the original, though.

A nourishing snack or breakfast combo

My snack appetite is easily satisfied when these elements come together: chia seeds, plant-based milk, rolled oats and nut butter. These ingredients (plus some sweetener and a pinch of salt) is all you need to create the perfect satisfying healthy snack or breakfast. You don’t even need the nut butter, but in my opinion it gives chia oats a lovely texture – not to mention a creamy nutty flavor!

Or dessert?

Although this Snickers chia overnight oats jar might look like dessert, it’s definitely more snack or breakfast than dessert in my books. Of course the generous chocolate drizzle on top takes this creation to a near dessert-level, but otherwise the ingredient list is pretty wholesome, and you can of course leave out the chocolate (but I don’t recommend it 🙂 )

The easy way to make snickers

So how to make this? Just mix chia oats ingredients, let sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes or overnight, and add crushed salted peanuts, caramel and chocolate on top when you want to eat the oats. And there you go – an absolutely delicious snack jar is ready to be grabbed as breakfast/snack or even lunch if you have a big enough jar. There’s just something irresistible about the sweet & salty combination 🙂

If you want snickers oats with a twist, I recommend this festive gingerbread spiced snickers overnight oats recipe!

      Thank you beautiful!! I actually don’t like classic caramel either, because it is way too sweet for me (I like to add tahini or a lot of nut butters to vegan caramels to make it less sweet!). And yes this is a really quick and easy recipe to make! I’ve made this a lot lately 🙂 Have a wonderful day and happy first of September. HUGS Tiina
