Delicious and refreshing Chocolate Peppermint Overnight Oats made with creamy Greek yogurt, rich cocoa powder, and a hint of peppermint extract, perfect for a quick and festive breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)
  • Crushed candy canes, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, peppermint extract, and your choice of sweetener (maple syrup or honey) ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully integrated and the cocoa powder is evenly distributed to achieve a rich chocolate color.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture overnight (at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.
  4. Adjust Consistency: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk or preferred milk to reach your desired consistency.
  5. Add Toppings: Top the overnight oats with chocolate chips and crushed candy canes if desired for added texture and festive peppermint flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Use almond milk or any preferred dairy or non-dairy milk to suit dietary preferences.
  • Greek yogurt adds creaminess and extra protein; you can substitute with plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
  • Peppermint extract is potent; adjust the amount to taste to avoid overpowering the flavor.
  • Optional toppings like chocolate chips and crushed candy canes add extra sweetness and a festive touch.
  • For sugar-free versions, consider using a low-calorie sweetener instead of maple syrup or honey.
