Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup coconut yogurt
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt coconut oil. Add the diced pineapple and brown sugar, cooking until the pineapple is caramelized and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the caramelized pineapple cool slightly.
- To serve, layer the overnight oats in bowls or jars, topping with the caramelized pineapple and toasted coconut flakes.
Notes
Tip: For added texture and flavor, consider mixing in chia seeds before refrigerating the oats.
For best results, let the oats soak overnight to achieve the perfect creamy consistency. If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to add a little honey or maple syrup to the mix. You can also swap the pineapple for other fruits like mango or banana, depending on your preference.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes and a sprinkle of cinnamon just before serving for an extra touch of flavor!
