Mars Overnight Oats

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup Vanilla yogurt (YoPro used in original recipe)
• 1.5 tbsp Maple syrup (Sugar-free; 1-2 tbs)
• 1 cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 tbsp Chia seeds
• 80 g Oats (Red Tractor protein oats used in original recipe)
• 25 g Chocolate protein powder (Chocolate caramel bar flavor recommended; 20-30g)
• 20 g Maple syrup (for caramel layer)
• 20 ml Biscoff spread (melted; or almond butter)
• 25 g Milk chocolate (Lindt no sugar milk chocolate used in original recipe)
• 35 g Yogurt (Cocobella coconut yogurt used in original recipe)
• 0.5 tbsp Milk (for ganache)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup, almond milk, chia seeds, oats, and chocolate protein powder.

2. 2

   Mix the ingredients thoroughly and place the bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to thicken.

3. 3

   Once thickened, give the oats another mix and divide the mixture evenly between 2 small bowls or jars.

4. 4

   To make the caramel, melt the Biscoff spread (or almond butter) in the microwave for 30 seconds.

5. 5

   Let the melted spread cool for one minute, then stir in 20g of maple syrup until combined.

6. 6

   Drizzle the finished caramel sauce over the top of the oats in each bowl.

7. 7

   To make the ganache, melt the milk chocolate in the microwave. Once melted, add 1/2 tablespoon of milk and mix.

8. 8

   Stir the 35g of yogurt into the chocolate mixture until a smooth ganache forms. (Note: If using coconut yogurt, you can microwave the chocolate and yogurt together for 30 seconds, let stand for 15 seconds, then stir until thick).

9. 9

   Top the middle of the oats with the ganache, spreading it over the caramel layer.

10. 10

    Place the jars in the fridge overnight to set completely.

Notes

For a vegan and dairy-free option, ensure you use plant-based yogurt and vegan chocolate. The author recommends using a chocolate caramel flavored protein powder for the best flavor profile.
