Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 180g porridge oats
- 75g crunchy peanut butter (we used Meridian 100% nuts)
- 40g stoned medjool dates, chopped
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 600ml boiling water
- 480g plain bio yogurt (5 x 120g pots) or 600g from a large pot
- Ground cinnamon, for dusting
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
