Ingredients
-
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
-
1¾ cups reduced-fat milk
-
1 cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
-
4 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips, divided
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds

2 teaspoons sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon peppermint extract

⅛ teaspoon salt

1½ teaspoons unrefined coconut oil

Description
- Whisk 2 cups oats, 1¾ cups milk, 1 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 2 teaspoons sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla, ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract and ⅛ teaspoon salt in a large bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate until just starting to thicken, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir 1½ teaspoons coconut oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips together in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 45 to 60 seconds; stir until fully combined.
- Divide the oat mixture among 4 (8-ounce) jars, about 1 cup each. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate chip mixture over each jar, tilting to cover the entire surface. Refrigerate, uncovered, until the chocolate layer is just set, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon flaky salt; cover and refrigerate until the oatmeal has thickened and the chocolate layer is fully set, at least 8 hours (and up to 4 days).
