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 bean paste
  • Dash of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or a sealable jar, add the rolled oats, unsweetened coconut milk, shredded coconut, chia seeds, maple syrup, coconut yogurt, vanilla bean paste, and a dash of sea salt. Ensure all ingredients are fresh and measured accurately.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients well until everything is evenly combined. This helps to distribute flavors and allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid for a creamy texture.
  3. Refrigerate: Seal the jar or cover the bowl tightly. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the coconut milk and meld the flavors together.
  4. Serve: After chilling, you can enjoy the oats cold straight from the fridge or warm them slightly if preferred. Add desired garnishes such as toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, or sliced almonds to enhance the flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free oats if you need a gluten-free option.
  • Coconut yogurt adds creaminess and a subtle tang; if unavailable, you can substitute with coconut butter or plain yogurt.
  • The recipe is naturally sweetened with maple syrup; adjust to taste or replace with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
  • Optional garnishes like toasted coconut flakes, fresh fruits, or nuts add texture and flavor variety.
  • Serving size is designed for one but can be easily doubled or tripled for meal prep.
