About this recipe
Snickers-style oatmeal is a creamy breakfast topped with peanut butter, date caramel, and chocolate. The oats cook with cocoa in plant-based milk, creating a filling, dessert-like dairy-free bowl. A thick sauce of dates, peanut butter, and salt resembles caramel, while chopped peanuts and dark chocolate add a pleasant contrast in texture. The recipe takes about 30 minutes and is best prepared as two servings.
Ingredients
Servings: 2
Oatmeal
100 g certified gluten-free rolled oats
400 ml unsweetened soy milk or certified gluten-free oat milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
a pinch of salt
Date Caramel
100 g soft pitted dates
80 ml hot water
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (100% peanuts)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings
20 g dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped
20 g unsalted peanuts, chopped
Steps
Pour the hot water over the dates and let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer them with the water to a blender jar, add the peanut butter and salt, then blend into a smooth, thick sauce. If using a countertop blender, do not seal it tightly with hot water inside; cover the opening with a kitchen towel and blend carefully.
In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats, plant-based milk, cocoa, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat for 7–8 minutes, stirring often, until the oats are tender and the oatmeal thickens noticeably; do not let the bottom scorch.
Divide the hot oatmeal between two bowls and wait 1–2 minutes for the surface to settle slightly.
Spoon half of the date caramel onto each serving and gently spread it over the top or make decorative swirls.
Sprinkle the oatmeal with chopped dairy-free dark chocolate and peanuts. Serve immediately as the chocolate begins to soften from the warmth of the oatmeal.
