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.
  2. Step 2: Add the peanut butter, chopped dates, and vanilla extract, then stir well to combine.
  3. Step 3: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then stir through 240g of the yogurt. If the consistency is too stiff, dilute with a small amount of water.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the oat mixture evenly into six glasses.
  5. Step 5: Top each glass with the remaining yogurt and dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
  6. Step 6: Cover each glass and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top before serving.
  • Swap medjool dates for raisins or dried figs if preferred.
  • Use flavored yogurt, such as vanilla, for added sweetness without extra sugar.
  • If you like it sweeter, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup on top.

Storage

Store the oat pots covered in the refrigerator for up to five days. They are best enjoyed chilled but can be eaten at room temperature if preferred. If the mixture thickens too much after refrigeration, stir in a little water or milk before serving.

How to Serve

Four small clear glass jars sit on a white marbled surface, each filled with three visible layers: a bottom layer of chunky, light brown oat mixture with dark brown raisin pieces, a thick middle layer of creamy white yogurt, and a top layer dusted with light brown cinnamon powder. One jar in the front shows a silver spoon inside, standing upright. The jars are simple and round, showing the textures inside clearly. The background is softly blurred with more jars visible, enhancing the focus on the front jars. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
