Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 (5 ounce) can coconut milk
- 1/4 cup honey, maple syrup, or agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
Optional Toppings
- Coconut flakes
- Fresh coconut chunks
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, chia seeds, coconut milk, honey (or preferred sweetener), vanilla extract, and coconut yogurt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and soften.
- Serve and Garnish: Once chilled and thickened, divide the oats evenly into 4 glasses or jars. Add optional toppings such as coconut flakes or fresh coconut chunks for added texture and flavor, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Do not use quick oats for this recipe to maintain texture.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or another plant-based sweetener.
