  2. With the processor running, pour oat milk, maple syrup and vanilla through the food chute; process until smooth, about 1 minute.

  3. Spoon the mixture into a freezer-safe 9–by-5-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper; freeze for 1 hour. Sprinkle with cacao nibs and peanuts before serving, if desired.
