• Add a squeeze of lime juice to the mango layers for a tangy twist.
• If mango isn’t in season, use pineapple or peaches as delicious alternatives.

Storage

Store the overnight oats in airtight jars or containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes them ideal for meal prep. Enjoy cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before eating for a softer texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular rolled oats instead of quick rolled oats?

Yes, but the texture will be thicker and may need a little more soaking time. You can soak overnight or up to 24 hours for softer oats.

Is this recipe suitable for vegans?

To make it vegan, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar and use a dairy-free yogurt alternative like coconut yogurt.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Overnight Oats Base

• 1 1/2 Cups Coconut Milk
• 1 Cup Quick Rolled Oats
• 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Greek Yogurt
• 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
• 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
• 2 Tablespoons Pure Honey
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)

Fruit Layer

• 2 Cups Fresh Mango, cubed

Instructions

1. Mix the base ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the coconut milk, quick rolled oats, unsweetened Greek yogurt, chia seeds, shredded coconut, pure honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
2. Prepare the jars: Using two pint-sized mason jars or similar containers, place about 1/3 cup of the fresh cubed mango at the bottom of each jar to create a fruity base layer.
3. Add the oatmeal mixture: Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the prepared oatmeal mixture on top of the mango layer in each jar, spreading it evenly.
4. Create the layered effect: Add another layer of cubed mango over the oatmeal mixture, followed by the remaining oatmeal mixture, dividing it evenly between the two jars.
5. Top with mango: Finish by topping each jar with the remaining fresh mango cubes to add a fresh and colorful finish.
6. Refrigerate overnight: Seal the jars with lids and place them in the refrigerator. Allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours, to achieve a creamy consistency and meld the flavors.

Notes

• For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
• If you prefer thicker oats, reduce the coconut milk slightly or add more chia seeds.
• Quick rolled oats are recommended for faster soaking and better texture, but regular rolled oats can be used.
• The oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
• Make sure to use ripe fresh mango for the best sweetness and flavor.
• Store the overnight oats refrigerated and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
