Delicious and easy Mint Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats combining creamy Greek yogurt, rolled oats, and refreshing peppermint flavor with chocolate chips for a healthy and no-cook breakfast option.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
  • A few drops of natural green food coloring (optional)

For Garnish (optional)

  • Crushed mint leaves
  • Extra chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, and peppermint extract thoroughly until fully combined.
  2. Add Color and Chocolate: If desired, add a few drops of natural green food coloring for a minty green hue. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to the mixture.
  3. Refrigerate: Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
  4. Serve: In the morning, stir the oats well and top with extra chocolate chips or fresh crushed mint leaves before serving for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use plant-based milk and yogurt for a dairy-free version.
  • You can prep multiple jars at once for convenient breakfasts throughout the week.
  • Adjust the sweetness and peppermint extract according to your taste preference.
