Description
A creamy and coconutty breakfast that feels like dessert, made easy by preparing it the night before without any cooking.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats (These soften perfectly overnight.)
- 1 cup Coconut milk (Canned is richer, carton is lighter.)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (Adds creaminess and tanginess.)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (Optional, thickens the mixture.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (For dessert-like flavor.)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey (For sweetness.)
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut (For texture.)
- 1 pinch Salt (Enhances flavor.)
Optional Toppings
- Crushed graham crackers (Sprinkle on top for a pie-crust moment.)
- Fresh berries (Adds freshness.)
- Whipped topping (For a dessert feel.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Add rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt into your jar.
- Pour in coconut milk, add yogurt, vanilla, and your sweetener.
- Stir really well. Make sure you scrape the bottom so the oats do not clump.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best.
Serving
- In the morning, stir again and add toppings. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
Notes
Overnight oats can last about 3-4 days in the fridge. Remember to pack it cold if you are taking it to work.
