A creamy and naturally sweet Coconut Overnight Oats recipe that combines rolled oats, chia seeds, coconut milk, and Greek yogurt for a nutritious and easy make-ahead breakfast. This vegan-friendly and gluten-free dish is lightly sweetened with maple syrup and enhanced with shredded coconut for a delicious tropical flavor.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 1/2 cups refrigerated coconut milk (not canned; substitute with your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk)
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup (substitute with your favorite sweetener)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

For Serving (Optional)

  • Coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine the overnight oats: In a large bowl, place the rolled oats, chia seeds, refrigerated coconut milk, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate it for a minimum of 3 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, creating a creamy texture.
  3. Add Greek yogurt and shredded coconut: In the morning, remove the oats mixture from the fridge and stir well. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more coconut milk to loosen it to your desired consistency. Stir in the plain Greek yogurt and the unsweetened shredded coconut gently until fully incorporated.
  4. Serve and garnish: Spoon the overnight oats into serving bowls or jars. Top with coconut flakes if desired for added texture and flavor. Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • Use old fashioned rolled oats rather than instant oats for best texture.
  • Chia seeds add fiber and help thicken the mixture, but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein; a plant-based yogurt can be used for a vegan option.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup or using your preferred sweetener.
  • This recipe is best prepared the night before for the perfect consistency.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
