Coconut Overnight Oats

Updated: Sep 27, 2023


Overnight oats are about all I can muster in the kitchen these days at 38 weeks pregnant. They come together super quick - no stove required - and keep for days! Plus they're so refreshingly delicious on a hot summer morning.


Overnight oats are simply rolled oats mixed together with milk allowed to soak until morning. You can get inventive with the milks and mix-ins of course. I leaned into sitting-on-a-beach, summer vibes and opted for coconut milk and a heap of shredded, chewy coconut. For good nutrition and added flavor, I top my bowl with plenty of fresh fruit. All part of a balanced breakfast!


Coconut Overnight Oats


Ingredients

· 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

· ¾ cup shredded, sweetened coconut

· 3 cups unsweetened coconut milk drink

· 2 tbsp brown sugar

· 1 tsp vanilla extract

· ¼ tsp coconut or almond extract

· ¼ tsp cinnamon

· Pinch of salt


For serving (optional)

· Sliced bananas

· Diced mango

· Assorted berries

· Toasted, shredded coconut

· Toasted, slivered almonds


In a medium bowl combine the oats, shredded coconut, coconut milk, brown sugar, extracts, cinnamon, and salt. Transfer to an airtight storage container. Chill overnight or for at least 8 hours.


Serve bowls of the oatmeal chilled topped with fresh fruit and toasted nuts as desired.
