A refreshing, minty overnight oats recipe inspired by the classic Shamrock Shake, perfect for a quick, creamy, and nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240ml)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g, plain or vanilla)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12g, optional)
  • A few drops green food coloring (optional)
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using.
  2. Pour in 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and ½ cup Greek yogurt. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Mix in 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and carefully add ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired.
  4. Whisk or stir everything until fully combined and oats are evenly coated.
  5. Divide the mixture into two or three mason jars or containers with lids. Seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  6. In the morning, give each jar a quick stir. Add a splash of almond milk if too thick. Top with whipped cream and a fresh mint leaf if desired.

Notes

Measure peppermint extract carefully to avoid overpowering flavor. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best creaminess. Chia seeds are optional but add texture and fiber. Adjust thickness with almond milk in the morning. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk.
