Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 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 a jar with a tight seal, add the rolled oats, coconut milk, shredded coconut, chia seeds, maple syrup, coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Mix Well: Stir the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined, ensuring the chia seeds and oats are evenly distributed throughout the coconut milk and yogurt mixture.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jar or cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve: After chilling, serve the overnight oats either warm or cold as preferred. Garnish with your favorite toppings like toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, or sliced almonds to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut yogurt with coconut butter if you prefer, though coconut butter can be harder to find and use due to its tendency to harden.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free when using certified gluten-free oats and dairy-free yogurt and milk, making it suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets.
- Consider personalizing your oats by adding toppings or mix-ins such as sliced almonds, raisins, fresh berries, chocolate chips, flaxmeal, protein powder, or cocoa powder.
