Ingredients
Oatmeal Base
- 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 (or maple syrup/agave)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
Optional Toppings
- Coconut flakes
- Fresh coconut chunks
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, chia seeds, coconut milk, honey, vanilla paste, and coconut yogurt until well combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours, but preferably for 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften, and the chia seeds to absorb the liquid resulting in a creamy texture.
- Serve: Once ready, divide the overnight oats evenly into 4 glasses or jars. Add your choice of optional toppings such as coconut flakes or fresh coconut chunks for extra flavor and texture, then serve chilled.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan alternative.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture, or light coconut milk for a lower calorie option.
- Overnight oats will keep refrigerated up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less honey or syrup.
- Optional toppings like fresh fruits or nuts can be added for extra variety and nutrition.
