Description
A delicious and easy recipe for creamy overnight rolled oats made with coconut milk and topped with your favorite fruits and nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup milk of choice (oat, almond, or regular)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: sliced banana, shredded coconut, fresh berries, chopped nuts
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. Start with quality rolled oats. These provide the best texture—soft but not mushy after soaking. Combine the oats in a mason jar or bowl with a lid.
- Add the liquids. Pour in your full-fat canned coconut milk and your milk of choice. The canned coconut milk adds a rich, velvety texture and mild coconut flavor that transforms the oats into something decadent.
- Sweeten and season. Add your maple syrup (or honey), a dash of vanilla extract, chia seeds, and a tiny pinch of salt. The chia seeds will help thicken the mixture, adding a bit of crunch and fiber.
- Stir and refrigerate. Mix everything well to ensure the oats and chia seeds are evenly distributed. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
- Serve and top. In the morning, give your oats a good stir. If they’re a little thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with your favorite ingredients—think sliced bananas, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, or a handful of berries. Enjoy straight from the jar or in a cozy bowl.
Notes
- This recipe is easy to customize based on your preferred toppings and milk options.
