This delightful Coconut Overnight Oats recipe is a creamy and nutritious breakfast that’s ready to enjoy after a few hours of chilling. Combining rolled oats, chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and shredded coconut, this dish offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making your morning routine easier and more delicious.

Ingredients

Overnight Oats Base

  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 1/2 cups refrigerated coconut milk (not canned; sub with your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk)
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup (or your favorite sweetener)

Add-Ins and Toppings

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Coconut flakes for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the overnight oats: In a large bowl, place the rolled oats, chia seeds, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring the oats and seeds are evenly dispersed in the liquid.
  2. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a minimum of 3 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  3. Add Greek yogurt and coconut: In the morning, remove the oats from the fridge and stir the mixture thoroughly. If the consistency is too thick, add a little extra milk to loosen it up. Then fold in the plain Greek yogurt and shredded coconut evenly throughout the oats.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Spoon the prepared coconut overnight oats into serving bowls or jars. Optionally, top with coconut flakes for added texture and garnish. Enjoy this creamy, nutritious breakfast cold straight from the fridge.

Notes

  • Use old fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can become too mushy.
  • Chia seeds add fiber and help thicken the oats but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Plain Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess, but you can substitute with a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
  • Use refrigerated coconut milk for better consistency rather than canned coconut milk which is thicker and richer.
  • Feel free to swap maple syrup with honey, agave, or another sweetener of your choice.
