Description
Delicious and creamy coconut overnight oats topped with fresh fruit.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup canned full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup coconut water (or more coconut milk)
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
- Fresh fruit for topping (e.g., pineapple, mango, strawberries)
Instructions
- Start with the oats: In a mason jar or sealable container, combine ½ cup rolled oats with ½ cup of full-fat canned coconut milk. The rich coconut milk gives these oats their signature creaminess.
- Add some hydration: Pour in ¼ cup coconut water. If you don’t have coconut water, just add more coconut milk or a bit of almond milk to thin the texture to your liking.
- Incorporate texture: Mix in ½ tablespoon of chia seeds. These tiny powerhouses help thicken the oats and add omega-3s and fiber.
- Sweeten (optional): Stir in 1–2 teaspoons of maple syrup if you like a sweeter bite, along with a small pinch of salt to balance the flavors.
- Coconut flavor boost: Add 1 tablespoon of shredded unsweetened coconut for texture and extra coconut flavor.
- Chill overnight: Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid and soften beautifully.
- Serve and enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a stir. Top with fresh fruit like pineapple chunks, diced mango, or strawberries. You can also sprinkle a bit more shredded coconut or a few nuts for crunch.
