Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or milk of your choice)
- ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats (or quick oats)
- ½ cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
- 3 tbsp graham cracker crumbs
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Toppings (Optional)
- Banana slices
- Ground cinnamon
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, rolled oats, shredded coconut, graham cracker crumbs, mashed banana, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt until everything is well combined and evenly mixed.
- Portion and Refrigerate: Carefully spoon the oat mixture into two half-pint mason jars or airtight containers. Seal them tightly with lids and place in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid fully.
- Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: Once ready, open the jars and stir the oats. Taste and adjust the thickness by adding more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. For more sweetness, add extra mashed bananas or graham cracker crumbs as desired.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Finish off by adding your choice of toppings such as fresh banana slices, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and additional shredded coconut. Serve chilled and enjoy a creamy, flavorful breakfast!
Notes
- Use old fashioned rolled oats for best texture, but quick oats can also be used if short on time.
- Adjust the sweetness naturally by adding more mashed banana or graham cracker crumbs based on preference.
- This recipe is easily customizable with different types of milk, such as almond, soy, or dairy.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for convenient breakfasts.
