Ingredients

50 g porridge oats
1 Tbsp. chia seeds
130 ml oat milk
1 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup
40 g crunchy peanut butter
30 g dark chocolate, chopped
1 tsp. coconut oil
5 g roasted and salted peanuts

Directions

1. Step 1Combine the oats and chia seeds. Stir in the oat milk and honey or maple syrup. Transfer to a large ramekin or small jar and chill for 4 hours, ideally overnight.
2. Step 2Loosen the peanut butter with a splash of hot water, if needed, and stir. Spoon over the oats and carefully spread. Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwaveable bowl or jug. Melt in 30 second bursts in the microwave. Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the oats and peanut butter and swirl, ensuring everything is covered. Transfer to the fridge for 10 minutes or until starting to set but still a little tacky. Sprinkle over the peanuts, return to the fridge and chill until completely set.

GH TIP: For a sweeter take, replace the dark chocolate with milk chocolate.
