Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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 until everything is well mixed and the oats are fully coated with the chocolatey mint mixture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture without melting them.
- Refrigerate: Divide the oat mixture evenly into two jars or containers with lids. Seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Serve: When ready to eat, garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves and enjoy the oats chilled straight from the fridge.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk such as cow’s, soy, or oat milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste.
- For a crunchier texture, add nuts or seeds just before serving.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan option, ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
