Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup diced mango or pineapple (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- Fresh fruit
- Nuts
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, turmeric, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in the shredded coconut and optionally diced mango or pineapple to add texture and sweetness.
- Portion into Containers: Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or containers with lids, making it easy for individual servings.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soak up the liquid and soften properly.
- Stir and Adjust Consistency: In the morning, stir the oats well, and add a splash of coconut milk if the mixture feels too thick.
- Serve with Toppings: Top your overnight oats with fresh fruit and nuts as desired for added flavor and crunch before enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey to keep the recipe vegan.
- Use canned coconut milk for a creamier texture; carton coconut milk is lighter.
- Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Feel free to swap diced mango or pineapple with berries or other seasonal fruits.
- This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a dollop of Greek yogurt in the morning before serving.
