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)
- 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.
- Add Bananas: If desired, gently fold the sliced bananas into the oat mixture, taking care not to mash them.
- Divide and Refrigerate: Evenly divide the mixture into two jars or containers with lids. Seal the containers tightly.
- 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.
- 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.
