    Why you will love this recipe:

    • The taste! These overnight oats combine the flavours of cheesecake, dark chocolate, caramel, and peanuts to give them a flavour that's similar to a Snickers bar or a Snickers cheesecake.
    • They are quick and easy to make and only take a few minutes to prepare, just like my protein baked oats recipe.
    • This overnight oats recipe is refined sugar free and can easily be made gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan.
    • These oats are high in protein with 34 grams of protein per serving!

    If you love cheesecake oats you will also love berry cheesecake overnight oats.

    Ingredients and substitutions:

    The ingredients needed to make snickers cheesecake overnight oats separated into small bowls.
    • Rolled oats - You want to be sure to use rolled oats and not quick oats or steel cut oats. I like to use oats that are sprouted, gluten free and glyphosate free.
    • Cream cheese - this is used to give these oats that delicious cheesecake like flavour. I recommend using plain, full fat cream cheese. For a dairy free or vegan option you can use a dairy free or vegan cream cheese.
    • Milk - I recommend using full fat, plain milk to make the creamiest overnight oats.
    • Peanuts - peanuts add a delicious flavour and texture to this oatmeal recipe.
    • Chocolate chips - these are added to give this oatmeal a delicious sweetness and contrast nicely with the caramel and salty peanuts. I recommend using dark chocolate chips for this oatmeal recipe. If you want to keep this oatmeal recipe refined sugar free be sure to use chocolate chips or chocolate chunks sweetened with coconut sugar.
    • Hemp hearts - also known as hemp seeds, these add more texture, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids to this snickers overnight oats recipe.
    • Caramel - the homemade caramel sauce used in this oatmeal is made with cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract.

    Recipe variations and add ins:

    • To make these overnight oats gluten-free: use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
    • To make these oats dairy free: use a dairy free milk (full fat coconut milk is my favourite), a dairy free cream cheese, and dairy free chocolate chips.
    • To make this recipe vegan: use a plant based milk (I recommend full fat coconut milk), dairy free cream cheese, and vegan chocolate chips.
    • To keep this recipe refined sugar free use chocolate chips sweetened with coconut sugar.
    • To make peanut free: use cashews or almonds instead.
    • To make these oats higher in protein add an extra tablespoon of hemp hearts or add a couple scoops of collagen peptides before serving.
    • If you like adding chia seeds to your overnight oats you can add 1 tablespoon of white chia seeds or black chia seeds to this recipe. This will make the oats even thicker. 
    • If you are serving multiple people feel free to double or triple this recipe. 

    How to make snickers cheesecake overnight oats:

    A blender with cream cheese, oats, milk, and hemp seeds in it.

    Step 1

    First, add the oats, milk, cream cheese, hemp hearts and water to a blender and blend them for a few seconds, until the cream cheese clumps are gone.

    A glass bowl with a white liquid in it.

    Step 2

    Next, transfer the oatmeal mixture to a bowl or large jar.

    Step 3

    In a separate bowl, stir together the caramel ingredients until you have a smooth caramel sauce. 

    A glass bowl with caramel sauce and milk in it.

    Step 4

    Then stir the caramel into the oatmeal mixture. 

    A glass bowl with peanuts, chocolate chips and milk in it.

    Step 5

    Lastly, stir in the peanuts and chocolate chips and then put a lid on the bowl or jar and refrigerate the oats for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Then serve and enjoy!

    Top tips:

    • Be sure to use rolled oats and not quick oats or steel cut oats.
    • Instead of a blender you can use a food processor to blend these oats. 
    • Be sure to refrigerate these oats for at least 4 hours - if you don't let them sit for long enough the oats won't soften and absorb enough liquid so you will end up with hard, gritty oatmeal rather than smooth and creamy oatmeal. 

    How to serve:

    Most people eat their overnight oats cold, right from the fridge, but if you prefer you could also heat them before serving. Simply heat them for a few seconds in the microwave to do so.

    Snickers cheesecake overnight oats FAQs:

    Are overnight oats keto?

    No, oatmeal is not low carb or keto.

    Are overnight oats paleo?

    No, grains are not allowed on the paleo diet, so oatmeal and overnight oats would not be considered paleo.

    How should I store these snickers overnight oats?

    Store these overnight oats in the fridge in an airtight jar or bowl with a lid overnight, or for up to 3 days. I don't recommend trying to freeze overnight oats.
