Dessert for Breakfast: Mint Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats, ftw!
Ever tried to eat a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream for breakfast? Oh. Just me? Well, when I was a wee one, my parents adamantly thought that the cure to being sick was three-fold: 1) rest, 2) mint chocolate chip ice cream, 3) cherry 7up. To this day, I’d say it maybe-probably-could-you-never-know really work. But just in case you need something a little more widely-accepted as a “proper breakfast,” but still wanna sneak in that dessert without anyone knowing, here’s my favorite mint chocolate chip overnight oats recipe! Ready to stick it to da man? Um, I mean, make a sorta-breakfast-but-really-a-dessert? Let’s make this!

Mint Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats Recipe
Ingredients
Mint Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup milk of choice
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut cream or non-dairy vanilla yogurt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon organic peppermint extract
- 4-8 teaspoons pure maple syrup
Add-ins
- 1-2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Optional Toppings
- Mint leaves
- Fresh fruit
- Coconut whip
Instructions
- Set aside 2-3 resealable jars. Here are the resealable mini glass jars that I use–if using these, set aside 3 jars.
- Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk until well mixed and no clumps of coconut cream or yogurt remain. Pour into jars.
- Seal jars.
- Store overnight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.* Overnight oats will become thicker as each day passes. If desired, add non-dairy milk to thin it out. Enjoy cold, or heat in the microwave in 20-second increments until warm.
