How to Make It
Here’s how simple it is to prepare this recipe:
Blend the ingredients
Add all of the blended oats ingredients to a blender, blend until a ‘cake batter’ consistency forms.
Pour into jars
Pour into your jars (you can also add chopped peach to the bottom of the jar like I did). Smooth over the top.
Melt the chocolate
Melt the white chocolate along with the coconut oil (if using) – do this in the microwave or in a Bain Marie.
Finish and chill
Pour the melted chocolate over the blended oats so it covers the top. Place in the fridge to set for 2-3 hours or overnight. Enjoy!
How to Store It
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Freezer: No, the texture will change.
Reheat: Eat cold straight from the fridge.
Tips for Best Results
- Make sure not to over-blend the oats; aim for a smooth batter.
- For added sweetness, adjust maple syrup to taste.
- Adding chopped peaches before setting elevates the fruitiness.
- Ensure the chocolate is fully melted for a smooth covering.
