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.
