Dessert for breakfast? Yes, please! These fiber-rich Snickers-inspired overnight oats have all the features of the famous candy bar—crunchy peanuts, rich chocolate and a buttery caramel drizzle over tender and tangy oats. Old-fashioned rolled oats work best here, as they keep their texture as they sit. While you may be surprised by our use of chocolate chips and caramel sauce in a breakfast recipe, we use a minimal amount of each to mimic the Snickers flavor while still keeping the added sugar to 9 grams per serving—less than many sweetened cereals and fruit-flavored yogurts.
