Peanut Butter & Date Oat Pots Recipe

Introduction

Peanut butter & date oat pots are a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack option. Combining creamy peanut butter, sweet dates, and wholesome oats, these pots are filling and easy to prepare ahead of time.

Ingredients

• 180g porridge oats
• 75g crunchy peanut butter (we used Meridian 100% nuts)
• 40g stoned medjool dates, chopped
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 5 x 120g pots plain bio yogurt (or 600g from a large pot)
• ground cinnamon, for dusting

Instructions

1. Step 1: Tip the oats into a large bowl and pour over 600ml boiling water. Add the peanut butter, chopped dates, and vanilla extract, then stir well to combine.
2. Step 2: Allow the mixture to cool, then stir through 240g of the yogurt. If the consistency feels too stiff, dilute with a small amount of water until smooth.
3. Step 3: Spoon the oat mixture into six glasses. Top each with the remaining yogurt and dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
4. Step 4: Cover each glass and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Tips & Variations

• Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture or almond butter for a different flavor.
• Swap medjool dates for dried apricots or raisins if preferred.
• For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or seeds on top before serving.

Storage

Store the oat pots covered in the refrigerator for up to five days. They can be eaten cold straight from the fridge or allowed to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Stir gently if separation occurs.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain?

Yes, but using plain yogurt helps keep the flavor balanced and less sweet. Flavored yogurt may make the dish sweeter and change the taste.

Is it necessary to add boiling water?

Boiling water helps to soften the oats quickly for a creamy texture. Using cold water will result in a chewier consistency. For best results, stick to boiling water.

Instructions

1. Prepare the base mixture: Tip the porridge oats into a large bowl and pour over 600ml of boiling water. Add the crunchy peanut butter, chopped medjool dates, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly and allow the oats to start softening.
2. Cool and mix yogurt: Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, stir through 240g of the plain bio yogurt to add creaminess and tang. If the mixture feels a bit stiff, dilute it gently with a small amount of water to achieve a smooth, spoonable consistency.
3. Assemble oat pots: Spoon the oat and peanut butter blend evenly into six glasses or pots. Top each with the remaining 240g of yogurt to form a creamy layer on top.
4. Finish and store: Dust each pot with ground cinnamon for a warm, aromatic touch. Cover each glass or pot with a lid or cling film, then refrigerate until ready to serve. These oat pots will keep well for up to five days when stored properly.

Notes

• Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture; smooth peanut butter can be used but will change the mouthfeel.
• Medjool dates add natural sweetness—ensure they are soft and chopped finely for better distribution.
• You can adjust the consistency by adding more or less water depending on preference.
• This recipe is perfect for meal prep and can be refrigerated for up to five days.
• For a vegan version, substitute the yogurt with a plant-based alternative.
• The recipe naturally contains no added sugars aside from the natural sweetness of dates.
