Overnight oats mango coconut (Printable)

A creamy tropical breakfast blending oats, mango, and coconut for a quick, chilled start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
05 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Toppings

07 - 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
08 - 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped roasted almonds or cashews
10 - Honey or maple syrup for drizzling

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, coconut milk, yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until fully incorporated.
02 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and reach desired creamy consistency.
03 - In the morning, stir the oat mixture well and divide equally between two bowls or jars.
04 - Top each serving with diced mango, shredded coconut, and roasted nuts if desired.
05 - Drizzle with additional honey or maple syrup if preferred. Serve chilled.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Zero cooking means you can make it during those midnight moments when you actually feel like being in the kitchen.
  • It tastes like a tropical vacation in a jar, which makes waking up feel like less of a betrayal.
  • The texture transforms overnight into something creamy that doesn't feel like punishment for eating healthy.
02 -
  • The mango should be diced fresh in the morning because it weeps liquid overnight and turns the oats mushy rather than refreshing.
  • If your oat mixture seems too thick after refrigerating, stir in a splash more milk until it reaches the texture you actually want to eat, not what some recipe said you should want.
03 -
  • If you forget to prep the night before, these still work with just four hours of refrigeration, though they'll be slightly less creamy.
  • Layer your toppings in clear jars for those mornings when you need something beautiful to look at, not just something that tastes good.
