Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- ½ cup rolled oats, regular or gluten free
- ⅔ cup unsweetened coconut milk or milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut yogurt (coconut flavored)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dash of sea salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar with a tight seal, add the rolled oats, coconut milk, shredded coconut, chia seeds, maple syrup, coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and a dash of sea salt. Ensure all the ingredients are fresh and measured accurately for the best texture and flavor.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully combined and evenly distributed. This ensures the oats absorb the liquids and flavors uniformly.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken to a creamy consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: After chilling, serve the overnight oats either warm or cold according to your preference. Top with desired garnishes such as toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, or sliced almonds for added flavor, texture, and visual appeal.
Notes
- You can substitute the coconut milk with any milk of your choice like almond or oat milk.
- To toast coconut flakes, simply spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, stirring once for even toasting.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to prepare multiple servings ahead of time.
- For a vegan option, ensure the maple syrup and coconut yogurt are both vegan-certified.
- Overnight oats can be eaten chilled directly or warmed gently in the microwave before serving.
