Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or any milk of choice)
- ½ cup diced ripe mango (fresh or frozen)
- ¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (unsweetened or toasted)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, mix the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt thoroughly to blend all the wet and dry ingredients.
- Add Mango and Coconut: Gently fold the diced mango and shredded coconut into the oat mixture, ensuring the fruit and coconut are evenly distributed without crushing the mango.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften while the flavors meld.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats well. Top with extra diced mango, additional coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey if desired. Enjoy the oats chilled or let them sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to soften further before eating.
Notes
- For added texture and crunch, sprinkle chopped almonds or cashews on top just before serving.
- To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based yogurt and replace honey with maple syrup or another vegan sweetener.
