Equipment

Immersion blender optional

Ingredients

For the overnight oat layer

1 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 cup plant-based milk I used oat milk
2 tbsp date caramel layer (see recipe below) can also use maple syrup

For the caramel layer

8-10 large Medjool dates pitted
½ cup boiling water
2-3 tbsp roasted and salted peanuts I like to add the peanuts after transferring 2 tbsp of the date paste to the overnight oat mixture, see instructions below

For the chocolate layer

¼ cup vegan dark chocolate chips I like the brand Enjoy Life
½ tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

Pit the dates and transfer them to a tall container. Add the boiling water over and press on them with a spoon so they are all well covered. Let them soak for about 15 minutes. Then, use an immersion blender to blend the date to smooth. Set aside.
In a glass storing container, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, peanut butter, milk and 1-2 tablespoons of the date caramel. Stir well to combine, cover and transfer to the fridge. Let the oat mixture rest for 4 hours or overnight.
Add the peanuts to the remaining date caramel and transfer to an airtight container. Transfer to the fridge until ready to serve the overnight oats.
The next day when ready to enjoy, divide the oat mixture between 3 jars and top with some of the date caramel (you might have more than you need).
Transfer the chocolate chips to a small bowl and add the coconut oil. Warm up using the microwave for about 60-90 seconds, then let them sit for another minute or so. Stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted, then drizzle over the jars of overnight oats.
You can enjoy it right away or for a crunchy chocolate layer that you can "break" with your spoon, then let the chocolate set in the fridge for about 10-15 min before enjoying.

Notes

Storage tips: keep the overnight oats covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. The chocolate will solidify after resting in the fridge, so you might want to take it out 15 minutes before enjoying it.
The date caramel is super sweet, so taste it first and add less to the oats if you don't want your breakfast to be overly sweet. You might end up with leftover caramel, which you can store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days and use in oatmeals or yogurt, spread over toast or to use as a dip for sliced apple.
