Method
Prepare the Oats Base
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into mason jars or containers. This will help the oats absorb the liquid and flavors overnight.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken.
Assemble and Serve
Once the oats have set, remove them from the refrigerator. If the mixture is too thick, you can stir in a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
Divide the oats into serving bowls or jars. Top each serving with diced mango, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and sliced banana if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tropical Mango Coconut Overnight Oats!
These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them a great option for meal prep. Feel free to customize with your favorite fruits and nuts.
