Ingredients

Scale

Base 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

Optional Toppings

1/2 cup sliced bananas
Fresh whipped cream
Additional shredded coconut for garnish

Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and evenly mixed.
Add Bananas: If using, gently fold in the sliced bananas to distribute them evenly without mashing.
Portion Into Containers: Divide the oat mixture evenly into two jars or containers with tight-fitting lids to ensure freshness.
Refrigerate: Seal the jars and place them in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats to soak fully and soften to a creamy consistency.
Serve: Before enjoying, give the oats a good stir to re-incorporate any settled liquid. Top each serving with fresh whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of shredded coconut if desired for added flavor and texture.

Notes

This recipe can be made vegan by substituting Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
Use canned coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture or carton coconut milk for a lighter option.
Sliced bananas add natural sweetness and creaminess but can be omitted or replaced with other fruits like mango or pineapple.
Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted according to your preferred sweetness level.
Make the oats a day ahead to save time during busy mornings.
