Ever tried to eat a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream for breakfast? Oh. Just me?

Mint Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats Recipe
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 2-3 servings 1x
Description
Deep chocolate flavor and bright, fresh mint perfectly balance together for the best mint chocolate chip overnight oats recipe! Think Andes chocolate candy in overnight oats form.
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.
Notes
*Overnight oats can keep for 3-5 days, depending on the freshness of your ingredients, and whether or not you use homemade milk. Homemade milk can reduce the storing life of your overnight oatmeal to a maximum of 3 days.
