Description
A wholesome breakfast or midday snack! Sliced apples and homemade vegan caramel sauce layered in between creamy oats.
Ingredients
- FOR THE OAT LAYER:
- 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
- 1-½ Tablespoon Chia Seeds
- 2 cups Nondairy Milk (like Almond Milk)
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- FOR THE CARAMEL SAUCE:
- 6 Large Dates, Pitted
- ¼ cups Almond Butter (or Any Nut/seed Butter)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ cups Almond Milk
- FOR THE APPLES:
- 2 Apples, Cored And Chopped Into Small Cubes
Preparation
For the oats:
In a Mason jar or plastic container, combine all the oat layer ingredients. Put the lid on the jar or container and give it a good shake. Store the oats overnight in the refrigerator.
For the caramel sauce:
In a food processor or blender, add dates and process until a thick paste forms. Add almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform. While the processor is running, stream in the almond milk until the mixture is thick and syrup-like. Store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the oats.
To assemble:
Divide the apple cubes into 4 equal portions. Grab 2 jars or bowls. Drop 1 portion of apple cubes into each jar. Then, drizzle 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce over the apples. Layer ⅓ cup of the overnight oats mixture over the apples and caramel. Repeat this step with another layer of apples, caramel sauce, and overnight oats.
If desired, drizzle a bit of caramel sauce over the top and finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.
