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

How to make Vegan Samoa Cookie Overnight Oats with Step Pictures

Soak the dates in 1/2 cup hot water for 15 mins while you prep. Then Blend with the soaking water and salt until smooth and creamy. Add oats, chia, chocolate chips and non dairy milk to a bowl. Add 3 tbsp date caramel, a pinch of salt. Add almond extract or vanilla extract (optional). I like almond here.

Mix everything and press the oats in so that all oats are soaked. Chill for 10 mins. Transfer to jars. Alternatively, you can mix everything in 1 mason jar.

Top with some date caramel or swirl it in. Then top generously with toasted coconut.

Melt the chocolate chips with the non dairy milk over a double boiler or in microwave. Drizzle over the coconut.

You can drizzle the chocolate lightly or pour some in for a thin ganache like layer.

Seal and refrigerate overnight. Warm lightly if needed, before serving. Add berries and sliced fruits of choice and serve.
