Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Fruit and Toppings
- 1/2 cup diced fresh mango (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, diced mango, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This chilling time allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
- Stir and Adjust: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to evenly distribute the ingredients. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to loosen the texture to your preference.
- Serve: Top with additional diced mango and a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and flavor before serving immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute almond or oat milk for the coconut milk for a different flavor or to suit dietary needs.
- Use dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Frozen mango can be used if fresh mango isn’t available; just make sure to thaw it before mixing to avoid excess moisture.
