Ingredients

  • ½ cup large flaked rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 cup light coconut milk *see notes
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup *or other sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon desiccated coconut *optional
  • tiny pinch of salt
You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a big bowl or a mason jar if you want to prepare it as a grab-and-go breakfast.
  • Give the mix a good stir.
  • Close with a lid and put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness. Add more milk for a runnier consistency.
  • Add toppings of choice and enjoy.

Notes

  • Coconut Milk: The amount needed depends on how thick your coconut milk is. If you're using a full-fat coconut milk, then you'll probably need a bit more. The "light" one I used had around 55% coconut extract.
  • Type of Oats: Use large flake, old-fashioned oats for the perfect creamy texture!
  • Toppings: Add the toppings in the morning or shortly before serving to ensure that they are not soggy.
  • Topping Ideas: Fresh fruits, dried fruits, nuts, Homemade Almond Butter, 2-Ingredient Vegan Caramel Sauce , coconut flakes
  • Gluten-Free: Choose certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free overnight oats.
  • Refined Sugar-Free: You can make this recipe refined sugar-free by using mashed banana, apple sauce or stevia instead of maple syrup.
