What I love most is how satisfying this overnight oats recipe is. The oats keep you full, the Greek yogurt adds a boost of protein and creaminess, and the blend of peanut butter, cocoa, and dates gives you that perfect Snickers flavor. Plus, it’s ready and waiting in the fridge when you wake up. No morning effort required for this meal prep breakfast—just grab a spoon and enjoy. It hits all the right notes: sweet, salty, nutty, chocolatey. Honestly, I’d eat this healthy breakfast for dessert, too.

Tips for the Best Snickers-Inspired Overnight Oats
✔ Use rolled oats – Quick oats can get too mushy, and steel-cut oats won’t soften enough overnight.
✔ Use soft, gooey Medjool dates – The softer the dates, the better they blend into a creamy, caramel-like texture.
✔ Blend the wet ingredients well – Scrape down the sides as needed and blend until silky.
