Prep: 5Total: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 1x
Ingredients
Base:
- ¾ cup unsweetened coconut milk
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings:
Berries and Honey
- ½ cup raspberries, blueberries, or chopped strawberries
- 1 teaspoon honey, drizzled on top
Peanut Butter Banana
- ½ banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter, drizzled on top
Apple Pie
- ½ cup diced apples
- 1 tablespoon chopped pecans
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup, drizzled on top
Magic Cookie Bars
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 tablespoon chopped pecans
- 1–2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine: Add the coconut milk, rolled oats, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to large glass container and mix until combined. Seal with a lid or cover with food storage wrap and store in the refrigerator overnight, or at least 5 hours.
- Stir: The next morning (or when you’re ready to eat it), remove the lid and stir well. Thin with a little water or milk if desired.
- Add toppings: Eat plain or add your favorite toppings. If using one of the topping combinations, sprinkle the ingredients listed on top of the overnight oats just before eating. Enjoy!
Notes
- Coconut milk in a can or carton will work in this recipe! If you use canned coconut milk, the mixture will be thicker.
- You can eat this cold or warm, whatever you prefer! To warm: heat in the microwave for 45-60 seconds, or transfer the oats to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until warm.
- Add a variety of toppings, including fresh berries, sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, chocolate chips, nuts, shredded coconut, or granola. You can even mix in a scoop of protein powder.
- Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days with fresh coconut milk in a sealed airtight container, though they taste best when eaten within 48 hours.
- This is great for meal prep. Just lay out all of the jars you plan to use and mix up each batch individually.
- For gluten free overnight oats, use certified gluten free oats.
