Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 medjool dates pits removed, finely chopped
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 2/3 cup Greek yoghurt
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk

Maple caramel

  • 2 tablespoons smooth almond butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • Pinch finely ground sea salt

Instructions

  • To a large bowl add the chopped dates, rolled oats, vanilla extract, flaxseed meal, 1/3 cup Greek yoghurt and almond milk. Whisk to combine, cover the bowl and refrigerate for around one hour to set.
  • To make the maple caramel, add the tahini, vanilla extract, maple syrup and sea salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Drizzle a spoonful of maple caramel around the inside of 4 jars. Divide the overnight oats between the jars. Top with a dollop of yoghurt and then drizzle with the remaining maple caramel.

Notes

Dates – if your medjool dates are dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes, drain and then chop.
Gluten free – use certified gluten free rolled oats.
Dairy free – swap the Greek yoghurt for a thick coconut yoghurt.
Caramel swap – cashew butter or tahini can be used in place of the almond butter.
Spiced version – add ½–1 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the oats.
To serve warm – heat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes, stirring halfway, then top with the yoghurt and caramel.
