Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup
- ½ tsp coconut extract
- ½ cup diced mango (fresh or frozen)
Toppings
- Toasted coconut flakes (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or agave syrup, and coconut extract together.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure they are well combined and the oats start to soak.
- Add Mango: Gently fold in the diced mango pieces to distribute them evenly without mashing.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and top with toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen mango based on availability; frozen mango can be thawed for convenience.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or agave syrup to taste.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- To toast coconut flakes, spread them on a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
