Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 (5 ounce) can coconut milk
- 1/4 cup honey, maple syrup, or agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
Optional Toppings
- Coconut flakes
- Fresh coconut chunks
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, chia seeds, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup/agave), vanilla extract, and coconut yogurt until well combined.
- Refrigerate Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve: Once the oats have set, divide the mixture evenly into 4 glasses or jars. Add your preferred toppings such as coconut flakes or fresh coconut chunks, then serve chilled.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the desiccated coconut lightly before mixing.
- If you desire a thinner consistency, add a little more coconut milk before refrigerating.
- Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add fresh fruits like pineapple or mango for extra tropical flair.
