In the great debate of the best Girl Scout cookies, people are very clearly on one side or the other: Team Thin Mint or Team Samoas. Personally, I'm a Samoa fan (as evidenced by my Samoa Baked Oatmeal recipe). But I realize the other half of you have a deep love for Thin Mints, so I've got to make you a healthy, delicious breakfast recipe so that you, too, can enjoy the taste of your favorite Girl Scout cookie for breakfast.

Why You'll Love These Thin Mint Overnight Oats

If you love Thin Mints (especially from the freezer), you'll love these overnight oats. They are creamy, rich and chocolatey with just the right amount of mint. Like any overnight oats recipe, they're perfect for making ahead the night before so that all you have to do in the morning is grab a spoon and dig in. AND they're good for you!

What Makes Them Healthy?

These overnight oats are made with just a few simple ingredients - oats, chia seeds, yogurt, milk, cocoa, espresso powder, maple syrup and mint extract. They have no refined sugar and provide you with filling, blood sugar stabilizing, fiber from whole grain oats and chia seeds. But they still taste like dessert!

How To Make Thin Mint Overnight Oats

Grab a jar and mix the milk, yogurt, maple syrup, peppermint extract, cocoa, espresso powder, and salt together. Add the oats and chia seeds, stir, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

Tips and Recipe Variations

If your oats are too thick in the morning, simply stir in a little more milk.
You can enjoy these oats hot if you prefer. Just heat in the microwave for about 60 seconds when you're ready to eat them.
If you would like to make this recipe vegan, swap out your favorite non-dairy milk and plain vegan yogurt.
For an extra protein boost, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. I like unflavored collagen powder, and I think chocolate would be nice too.
You can use flaxseed in place of the chia seeds.
If you don't have espresso powder, leave it out. It enhances the chocolate flavor nicely, but is not absolutely necessary.
