Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 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 Additions and Garnishes
- 1/2 cup sliced bananas (optional)
- Fresh whipped cream for topping (optional)
- Additional shredded coconut for garnish (optional)
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well incorporated.
- Add Bananas: If using, gently fold in the sliced bananas to the oat mixture without crushing them to maintain texture.
- Portion and Refrigerate: Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or containers with lids, seal tightly, and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Serve and Garnish: Before eating, stir the oats well to combine any settled ingredients. Top with fresh whipped cream and sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top if desired for a creamy, tropical flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup according to your preference.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less syrup.
- Sliced bananas add natural sweetness and texture but can be omitted if you prefer.
- Make sure to use rolled oats and not instant oats for the best texture overnight.
- Overnight oats keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days, making them ideal for meal prepping.
