A delicious and nutritious Salted Caramel Overnight Oats recipe featuring rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, cacao nibs, and a creamy blend of Greek yogurt, milk, and medjool dates, topped with optional peanut butter caramel for a sweet and salty flavor twist. Perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast ready in just a few hours of chilling.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup rolled oats or minute oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp cacao nibs

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla Greek yogurt)
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1-2 large medjool dates, seed removed
  • Pinch of sea salt

Toppings (Optional)

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter caramel sauce
  • Additional cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a 10 oz glass jar, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, and cacao nibs. Mix well to evenly distribute all dry components.
  2. Blend Wet Ingredients: Using a high-powered blender, combine the plain Greek yogurt, milk, pitted medjool dates, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, creating a naturally sweet and creamy liquid.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the blended yogurt and milk mixture into the jar with the dry ingredients. Whisk or stir thoroughly to ensure all oats and seeds are well coated and integrated with the liquid.
  4. Chill to Thicken: If desired, top the oat mixture with peanut butter caramel sauce and some extra cacao nibs for added texture and flavor. Cover the jar and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, though overnight is best, to allow the oats to soak and soften, resulting in a creamy and delicious overnight oats dish.

Notes

  • Use either rolled oats or minute oats depending on texture preference; minute oats will soften faster.
  • Medjool dates provide natural sweetness, adjust quantity based on desired sweetness.
  • Peanut butter caramel topping is optional but adds a rich, sweet-salty flavor dimension.
  • Overnight refrigeration is recommended for best texture and flavor development.
