Main 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 Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sliced bananas
- Fresh whipped cream for topping
- Additional shredded coconut for garnish
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined to create the base mixture.
- Add Bananas (Optional): Gently fold the sliced bananas into the oat mixture, if using, to incorporate some natural sweetness and fruit texture.
- Divide and Refrigerate: Evenly portion the oat mixture into two jars or containers with lids, then seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soak, soften, and absorb the flavors.
- Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the oats a good stir to mix any settled ingredients. Top with fresh whipped cream and sprinkle additional shredded coconut as garnish if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or your preferred sweetener.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and skip the whipped cream or use a coconut-based alternative.
- The longer you refrigerate, the softer the oats will become.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add nuts or seeds on top for extra crunch and nutrition.
