Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 canned light coconut milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
  • Sweetener (maple syrup, honey, stevia), to taste
  • 4 medjool dates*
  • 2 tsp. almond butter
  • 4 tsp. unsweetened flaked coconut
  • liquid to thin
  • 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp. melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • dash of pure vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix up the oats: Place oats, coconut milk, water, and chia seeds in a small 8-oz. mason jar (it’s taller than it is wide, which is perfect for the Samoa “look”!). Mix, then set in the fridge overnight to thicken.
  2. In the morning, mix oats and add extra milk to thin if necessary. Taste and add sweetener if desired, keeping in mind that the topping will be very sweet. Heat mixture over the stove or keep cold if desired.
  3. Make the coconut caramel**: In the morning, place dates and almond butter in a small food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Add just enough liquid to allow mixture to blend. Add coconut and pulse until slightly chunky. Set aside.
  4. Make the chocolate: Combine cocoa powder, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
  5. Assemble: Place a small spoonful of chocolate on the bottom of your bowl/container if desired. Add oat mixture. Top with coconut caramel, and then drizzle chocolate over the top.

Notes

*Make sure your dates are nice and pliable. If they’re hard in any sense of the word, make sure to soak them in some warm water for a couple hours before getting started.

**You probably won’t need all of the coconut caramel for one serving, it’s just easier to blend in a bigger quantity. Store in the fridge for future use. Or snack on it throughout the day. I won’t judge.
