Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sliced bananas (optional)
• Fresh whipped cream for topping (optional)
• Additional shredded coconut for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
2. Step 2: If using, gently fold in the sliced bananas.
3. Step 3: Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers with lids.
4. Step 4: Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.
5. Step 5: Before serving, give the oats a good stir. Top with fresh whipped cream and additional shredded coconut if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat coconut milk for an extra creamy texture.
• Swap bananas for fresh mango or pineapple slices to enhance the tropical flavor.
• Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for added fiber and thickness.
• For a nutty crunch, sprinkle chopped toasted almonds or macadamia nuts on top before serving.

Storage

Store the overnight oats in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving, and if they thicken too much, add a splash of coconut milk to loosen the texture. These oats are best enjoyed cold but can be warmed briefly if preferred.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of milk?

Yes, you can substitute coconut milk with almond milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk, but keep in mind the coconut flavor will be less pronounced.

Is it necessary to use Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but you can use any yogurt or skip it for a dairy-free version. Plant-based yogurts work well too.

Overnight Oats Base

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Add-ins and Toppings

• 1/2 cup sliced bananas (optional)
• Fresh whipped cream (for topping, optional)
• Additional shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Add Bananas: If desired, gently fold the sliced bananas into the oat mixture, taking care not to mash them.
3. Divide and Refrigerate: Evenly divide the mixture into two jars or containers with lids. Seal the containers tightly.
4. Soak Overnight: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them soak overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, developing a creamy texture.
5. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, stir the oats well. Top each serving with fresh whipped cream and additional shredded coconut if desired for added creaminess and flavor.

Notes

• You can substitute Greek yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt to make this vegan.
• Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey to suit your taste.
• For a nuttier texture, add chopped nuts or seeds as a topping.
• The oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
• Use canned coconut milk for a richer coconut flavor or carton coconut milk for a lighter version.
