Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup milk (dairy, almond, soy, or oat)
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
1 tablespoon crushed candy canes (optional)
Instructions
In a jar or container, combine the oats, milk, coffee, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and peppermint extract. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
If you’re using chocolate chips and crushed candy canes, stir them in now. These add a delicious touch of sweetness and peppermint flavor.
Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they’re too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or warm them up in the microwave for a minute or two.
