Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup diced mango (fresh or thawed if frozen)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract (if using), and salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Gently fold in the diced mango and shredded coconut.
- Cover the bowl or seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
- In the morning, give the mixture a good stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with additional mango pieces and a sprinkle of shredded coconut, if desired. Enjoy chilled or warmed.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and sweetener.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to your preference.
- This recipe can be prepared in individual jars for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
