Ingredients
Scale
Oats Mixture
- 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 Add-ins and Toppings
- 1/2 cup sliced bananas (optional)
- Fresh whipped cream for topping (optional)
- Additional shredded coconut for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Add Bananas: If using, gently fold in the sliced bananas to disperse them evenly without mashing.
- Jar the Mixture: Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or containers with lids for convenient portioning.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jars and place them in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to fully soak and soften.
- Serve: Before eating, stir the oats well to combine. Top with fresh whipped cream and sprinkle additional shredded coconut on top if desired for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use canned coconut milk for a creamier texture or carton coconut milk for a lighter option.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar according to taste preferences and dietary needs.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess; use plain to keep flavors neutral or vanilla for added sweetness.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled and kept refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Feel free to add toppings like chopped nuts, fresh berries, or a drizzle of nut butter for extra nutrition and flavor.
