Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/8 tsp espresso powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

  1. In a jar or other container with a lid, whisk the yogurt, milk, maple syrup, peppermint extract, cocoa, espresso powder and salt. 
  2. Add oats and chia seeds. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  4. In the morning, stir and add another slash of milk if necessary. Enjoy!

Notes

  • 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.
