A creamy and delicious Coconut Overnight Oats recipe that combines rolled oats, chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and shredded coconut for a nutritious and easy grab-and-go breakfast. This no-cook, make-ahead meal is perfect for busy mornings and can be customized with your favorite non-dairy options.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups refrigerated coconut milk (not canned; substitute with your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk)
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Optional Toppings

  • Coconut flakes for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the oats, chia seeds, coconut milk, and maple syrup in a large bowl. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are fully incorporated with the liquids.
  2. Chill Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
  3. Stir and Adjust Consistency: In the morning, give the oat mixture a good stir. If it is too thick, add a little more coconut milk to loosen it up to your preferred consistency.
  4. Add Yogurt and Coconut: Stir in the plain Greek yogurt and the unsweetened shredded coconut to add creaminess and texture to your oats.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Spoon the overnight oats into bowls or jars and top with optional coconut flakes if desired. Enjoy immediately for a wholesome and satisfying breakfast.

Notes

  • Use old fashioned rolled oats only; quick or instant oats will create a mushy texture.
  • Chia seeds are essential for creaminess as they bloom in the coconut milk; if omitted, reduce coconut milk to 2 cups total.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut milk yogurt or your favorite non-dairy yogurt.
  • Prep overnight oats in advance and store in jars or containers in the refrigerator for 3-5 days for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
