This simple Mint Hot Chocolate Overnight Oats is made in a jar. It's perfect for the holidays. Made with chocolate chips, almond milk, rolled oats, chia seeds, and peppermint extract.
Next to Vegan Nog, mint chocolate has got to be my favorite holiday flavor. Not that it only has to be used around the holidays, but that's when I tend to see more of it.
This Mint Hot Chocolate Overnight Oats is sweet and rich. It is quite decadent - perfect for Christmas morning or brunch on the weekend when you don't feel like cooking.
This recipe can be made the night before or when you are ready to eat it. Vegan mint whipped cream adds a special touch on top, making this vegan overnight oats even more irresistible.
The Mint Hot Chocolate recipe is two cups, half of which you'll use for this recipe. I would suggest doubling the hot chocolate, since it's so good. Why not treat yourself!
Many people buy chocolate syrup or powdered hot cocoa mix to make their hot chocolate. Trust me, after trying it with melted chocolate chips, you'll never want to go back.
It's like driving a Mercedes then having to go back to driving your old Plymouth.
