Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
Add-ins & Garnish
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and peppermint extract. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the cocoa powder is evenly distributed in the mixture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the oat mixture to ensure every bite has a hint of chocolate.
- Refrigerate: Divide the oat mixture into two jars or containers with lids. Seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Before serving, garnish each jar with fresh mint leaves to enhance the minty aroma and visual appeal. Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator for a refreshing breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk or plant-based milk you prefer.
- For a sweeter option, add more maple syrup or use sweetened chocolate chips.
- The mixture can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days for convenience.
- If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, carefully increase the peppermint extract by a few drops.
