Ingredients

This recipe has simple, healthy ingredients, and you will like have most of them in your kitchen already! Here’s what you’ll need to make these Snickers Overnight Oats:

Blended Oats

• Rolled Oats – Old-fashioned oats create a creamy texture when blended. If you skip blending, quick oats can work great too in a bind!
• Almond Milk – Any milk works — oat, dairy, or even cashew.
• Greek Yogurt – Cottage cheese is a great swap if you want extra protein! Just make sure it gets blended at some point, either with all of the other ingredients or on it’s own.
• Maple Syrup – Honey is a great option as well to naturally sweeten this recipe.
• Chocolate Protein Powder (opens in a new tab) – I usually go for a clean plant-based one, but whey works too.
• Creamy Peanut Butter – It is important to use creamy to keep the right texture.
• Chopped Dates – Optional, but add that delicious Carmel flavor! You can leave them chopped and mixed in, or blend them for a vegan caramel drizzle.

Snickers Topping

• Dark Chocolate Chips – Melts into a glossy, crackly shell.
• Coconut Oil – Helps the chocolate set up just right.
• Flaky Sea Salt – Don’t skip it—it makes the chocolate pop!
• Peanut Butter Drizzle (opens in a new tab) (optional) – For extra richness.
• Chopped Peanuts – Brings that crunchy Snickers vibe to the top.

How to Make Snickers Overnight Oats

These Snickers Overnight Oats are incredibly simple! You’ll just need some Overnight Oats Jars (opens in a new tab)

1. Blend the Base – Add oats, almond milk, yogurt, maple syrup, protein powder, and peanut butter to a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Divide + Add Dates – Pour into two jars and sprinkle chopped dates over the top (or blend them in if you prefer a smoother texture).

4. Top It Off – Pour the melted chocolate over each jar. Sprinkle with flaky salt, a peanut butter drizzle, and chopped peanuts.

Tips

• Customize the Consistency – These oats are on the thicker side when blended, so feel free to add more milk before adding the topping to get the texture you love.
• Skip the Blender – Not into blending? You can stir everything together instead! It’ll have a more traditional overnight oats texture, but still super tasty.
• Wanting More Protein? – Use cottage cheese instead of yogurt, or boost your protein powder scoop slightly.
• Let the Shell Set Fully – Give it time to chill completely so the shell cracks cleanly.
• Swap the Shell – Feel free to just mix in chocolate chips and skip the chocolate shell if you want!

Variations

Switch it up with these fun ideas:

• Snickers Mocha Oats – Add 1 tsp instant coffee to the blend for a coffee twist.
• Banana Snickers Oats – Blend in half of a banana for even more creaminess. This is SO good!
• Vegan Version – Use a dairy-free yogurt and plant-based protein to make this 100% vegan (plus dairy-free chocolate chips).

How to Store

Fridge: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Best Served Cold: These oats are designed to be eaten cold, straight from the fridge. Perfect for hot mornings or on-the-go days!
