Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1 1/2 Cups Coconut Milk
- 1 Cup Quick Rolled Oats
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 2 Tablespoons Pure Honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
Fruit Layer
- 2 Cups Fresh Mango, cubed
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the coconut milk, quick rolled oats, unsweetened Greek yogurt, chia seeds, shredded coconut, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated.
- Layer Mango and Oats: Using two pint-size mason jars or similar containers, start by placing 1/3 cup of fresh cubed mango at the bottom of each jar. Next, add 1/2 cup of the oatmeal mixture on top of the mango layer. Repeat by adding another layer of mango followed by the remaining oatmeal mixture.
- Top with Mango: Finish by topping each jar with the remaining cubed mango for a fresh and colorful finish.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Secure the lids on the jars and transfer them to the refrigerator. Allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften overnight, ideally for at least 6-8 hours.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats gently before serving. Optionally, add extra toppings like more yogurt, coconut whipped cream, honey, puffed millet cereal, or chia seeds if desired.
Notes
- Optional toppings include additional yogurt, coconut whip, honey, puffed millet cereal, and chia seeds for extra texture and flavor.
- To make this recipe vegan, substitute Greek yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt alternative and replace honey with pure maple syrup.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
