Samoa Cookie Overnight Oats

The other day I was making a list of ways to make overnight oats more exciting. I was looking through my breakfast section and saw my Samoa cookie pancakes. And decided to make some oatmeal with the same concept!

These overnight oats have the oats and chia seeds mixed in to sit overnight. For the samoa cookie, I swirl in some date caramel which adds sweetness to the oat mixture. Then top the oat mixture with more caramel, some toasted coconut and a good drizzle of melted chocolate. I mean, its dessert, its breakfast, its everything you want to eat right now!

Ingredients for Vegan Samoa Cookie Overnight Oats

• Soft dates, water and salt make up the salted date caramel. You can use an alternate caramel if you like
• Oats, chia seeds are mixed with non dairy milk and other flavor additions as some mini chocolate chips and some salted caramel for sweetness. I like some almond extract for additional flavor, its optional.
• You can use other grain flakes if you cannot find gluten-free oats.
• The oat mixture can be mixed in a bowl and then transferred to serving bowls or jars, or directly mixed in a mason jar.
• Coconut shreds are toasted over medium low heat stirring occasionally for 3 to 4 mins to toast and use. Or use untoasted for garnish.
• Chocolate is melted for the final drizzle.
• Fruits and berries can be added before serving
