Liquid Base
- 1 1/2 Cups Coconut Milk
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 Cup Quick Rolled Oats
- 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- Pinch of Salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
Sweeteners and Fruit
- 2 Tablespoons Pure Honey
- 2 Cups Fresh Mango, cubed
- Mix the oat base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the coconut milk, quick rolled oats, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, shredded coconut, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well incorporated.
- Layer the ingredients: In two pint-sized mason jars or similar containers, add about 1/3 cup of cubed mango to the bottom of each jar. Then add 1/2 cup of the oatmeal mixture on top of the mango. Repeat by adding another layer of mango followed by the remaining oatmeal mixture.
- Top with mango: Finish each jar by placing the remaining cubed mango on the very top.
- Refrigerate overnight: Secure the lids on each jar and transfer them to the refrigerator. Let the oats and chia seeds soak overnight for at least 6-8 hours to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Serve and enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir if desired and add optional toppings like extra yogurt, coconut whip, honey, puffed millet cereal, or additional chia seeds for texture and flavor.
Notes
- Optional toppings: Add more yogurt, coconut whip, honey, puffed millet cereal, or chia seeds on top to enhance texture and taste.
- Vegan substitution: Use a non-dairy yogurt alternative instead of Greek yogurt and replace honey with pure maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
- Quick rolled oats are recommended for the best texture, but old-fashioned rolled oats can be used with a slightly longer soaking time.
- This recipe can be made in larger batches by adjusting ingredient quantities proportionally.
