Description
Mango Chia Overnight Oats are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that combines rolled oats, coconut milk, mango, and chia seeds, topped with toasted coconut for crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats, gluten-free if desired
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk, canned or carton
- 1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen mango, diced
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen mango, diced (for mango layer)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for toasted coconut crunch)
- 1 tablespoon chopped roasted almonds, optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or large jar, combine oats, coconut milk, 1/2 cup diced mango, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture thickens and develops a creamy consistency.
- Using a fork, mash 1/2 cup diced mango with lime juice until the mixture reaches a slightly chunky consistency.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add shredded coconut and toast, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool completely. If using almonds, combine with cooled toasted coconut.
- Stir the chilled oat mixture to achieve desired consistency. Divide half of the oat mixture between two serving jars or glasses. Layer with mango puree, then top with remaining oat mixture.
- Generously sprinkle toasted coconut crunch over the top of each jar immediately before serving.
Notes
- For a creamier base, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing maple syrup based on preference.
- This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
