Ingredients
- 3 pitted Medjool dates, chopped
- 1¾ cups unsweetened soy milk
- 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
- ¼ cup smooth natural peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2½ ounces bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao), chopped
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the chopped dates, soy milk, oats, yogurt, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the oats are smooth and the dates are fully broken down, which should take about 1–2 minutes.
- Transfer the blended mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the chopped chocolate. Be sure the chocolate is evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture evenly among four 8- to 10-ounce jars or containers. Seal tightly with lids and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 4 days.
Notes
Note: Use scissors instead of a knife to chop dates for easier cleanup. For garnish, sprinkle a bit of chopped chocolate on top before serving.
