Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey

Garnish

  • Chocolate chips, as desired
  • Crushed candy canes, as desired

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, mix the rolled oats, cooled brewed coffee, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, peppermint extract, and your choice of maple syrup or honey thoroughly ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight (at least 6-8 hours) to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  3. Stir and Adjust Consistency: The next morning, take the oats out and give them a good stir. If the mixture feels too thick, add a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based) to achieve your preferred consistency.
  4. Serve with Garnish: Serve the oatmeal cold or warmed slightly if preferred. Top with chocolate chips and crushed candy canes for texture and festive flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute brewed coffee with cold brew for a smoother taste.
  • Use Greek yogurt for creaminess and added protein; dairy-free yogurt can be used for a vegan alternative.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to taste.
  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup and plant-based yogurt and milk.
  • Stir well before serving to distribute the settled ingredients evenly.
